I am trying to install Redis with Chef. I would think, it's easy, since I only want to have the default configuration.

So, I add to a Berksfile:

site :opscode

cookbook 'apt'
cookbook 'node'
cookbook 'rvm', :git => "https://github.com/fnichol/chef-rvm"
cookbook 'runit'
cookbook 'redis'

Then, I run: vagrant provision

But I get this:

Put "runit" cookbook on top of your runlist and try again.

Investigating the cookbook, I found:

recipe           "redis::default",                     "Base configuration for redis"
recipe           "redis::install_from_package",        "Install From Ubuntu Package -- easy but lags in version"
recipe           "redis::install_from_release",        "Install From Release"
recipe           "redis::server",                      "Redis server with runit service"
recipe           "redis::client",  

When using: redis::install_from_package I get something working

  • That worked for me with Chef solo + Librarian. Note: I had to delete some Redis config files installed from my previous attempts. Sep 11, 2014 at 22:26

It seems to be a problem with the "runit" cookbook. I had the same issue, even putting "runit" on top of my runlist.

A quick fix would be use "redis::install_from_package" instead.

PS: If you get any exception with install_from_package, try to clean up the redis (because it could been generated from your previous attempts):

sudo apt-get purge  redis-server
rm -rf /etc/redis
