### Redis
As described on the [Redis](redis.md) documentation page, if you're hosting additional services which require Redis on the same server, you'd better go for installing a separate Redis instance for each service. See [Creating a Redis instance dedicated to Lago](#creating-a-redis-instance-dedicated-to-lago).
If you're only running Lago on this server and don't need to use Redis for anything else, you can [use a single Redis instance](#using-the-shared-redis-instance-for-lago).
#### Using the shared Redis instance for Lago
To install a single (non-dedicated) Redis instance (`mash-redis`) and hook Lago to it, add the following **additional** configuration:
```yaml
########################################################################
# #
# redis #
# #
########################################################################
redis_enabled: true
########################################################################
# #
# /redis #
# #
########################################################################
########################################################################
# #
# lago #
# #
########################################################################
# Base configuration as shown above
# Point Lago to the shared Redis instance
lago_redis_hostname: "{{ redis_identifier }}"
# Make sure the Lago service (mash-lago.service) starts after the shared Redis service (mash-redis.service)
lago_api_systemd_required_services_list_custom:
- "{{ redis_identifier }}.service"
# Make sure the Lago container is connected to the container network of the shared Redis service (mash-redis)
lago_api_container_additional_networks_custom:
- "{{ redis_identifier }}"
########################################################################
# #
# /lago #
# #
########################################################################
```
This will create a `mash-redis` Redis instance on this host.
This is only recommended if you won't be installing other services which require Redis. Alternatively, go for [Creating a Redis instance dedicated to Lago](#creating-a-redis-instance-dedicated-to-lago).
#### Creating a Redis instance dedicated to Lago
The following instructions are based on the [Running multiple instances of the same service on the same host](../running-multiple-instances.md) documentation.
Adjust your `inventory/hosts` file as described in [Re-do your inventory to add supplementary hosts](../running-multiple-instances.md#re-do-your-inventory-to-add-supplementary-hosts), adding a new supplementary host (e.g. if `lago.example.com` is your main one, create `lago.example.com-deps`).
Then, create a new `vars.yml` file for the
`inventory/host_vars/lago.example.com-deps/vars.yml`:
```yaml
---
########################################################################
# #
# Playbook #
# #
########################################################################
# Put a strong secret below, generated with `pwgen -s 64 1` or in another way
# Various other secrets will be derived from this secret automatically.
mash_playbook_generic_secret_key: ''
# Override service names and directory path prefixes
mash_playbook_service_identifier_prefix: 'mash-lago-'
mash_playbook_service_base_directory_name_prefix: 'lago-'
########################################################################
# #
# /Playbook #
# #
########################################################################
########################################################################
# #
# redis #
# #
########################################################################
redis_enabled: true
########################################################################
# #
# /redis #
# #
########################################################################
```
This will create a `mash-lago-redis` instance on this host with its data in `/mash/lago-redis`.
Then, adjust your main inventory host's variables file (`inventory/host_vars/lago.example.com/vars.yml`) like this:
```yaml
########################################################################
# #
# lago #
# #
########################################################################
# Base configuration as shown above
# Point Lago to its dedicated Redis instance
lago_redis_hostname: mash-lago-redis
# Make sure the Lago service (mash-lago.service) starts after its dedicated Redis service (mash-lago-redis.service)
lago_api_systemd_required_services_list_custom:
- "mash-lago-redis.service"
# Make sure the Lago container is connected to the container network of its dedicated Redis service (mash-lago-redis)
lago_api_container_additional_networks_custom:
- "mash-lago-redis"
########################################################################
# #
# /lago #
# #
########################################################################
```
## Usage
After installation, you can go to the Lago URL, as defined in `lago_hostname`.
