Customize installation directories
Customize Redis Enterprise Software installation directories.
When you install Redis Enterprise Software on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, you can customize the installation directories.
The files are installed in the redislabs
directory located in the path that you specify.
- When you install with custom directories, the installation does not run as an RPM file.
- If a
redislabs
directory already exists in the path that you specify, the installation fails. - All nodes in a cluster must be installed with the same file locations.
- Custom installation directories are not supported for databases using Auto Tiering.
You can specify these file locations:
Files | Installer flag | Example parameter | Example file location |
---|---|---|---|
Binaries files | --install-dir | /opt | /opt/redislabs |
Configuration files | --config-dir | /etc/opt | /etc/opt/redislabs |
Data and log files | --var-dir | /var/opt | /var/opt/redislabs |
These files are not in the custom directories:
-
OS files
- /etc/cron.d/redislabs
- /etc/firewalld/services
- /etc/firewalld/services/redislabs-clients.xml
- /etc/firewalld/services/redislabs.xml
- /etc/ld.so.conf.d/redislabs_ldconfig.conf.tmpl
- /etc/logrotate.d/redislabs
- /etc/profile.d/redislabs_env.sh
- /usr/lib/systemd/system/rlec_supervisor.service.tmpl
- /usr/share/selinux/mls/redislabs.pp
- /usr/share/selinux/targeted/redislabs.pp
-
Installation reference files
- /etc/opt/redislabs/redislabs_custom_install_version
- /etc/opt/redislabs/redislabs_env_config.sh
To specify directories during installation, include installer flags as command-line options when you run the install.sh
script. For example:
sudo ./install.sh --install-dir <path> --config-dir <path> --var-dir <path>
Limitations
Several Redis Enterprise Software installation reference files are installed to the directory /etc/opt/redislabs/
even if you use custom installation directories.
As a workaround to install Redis Enterprise Software without using any root directories, do the following before installing Redis Enterprise Software:
-
Create all custom, non-root directories you want to use with Redis Enterprise Software.
-
Mount
/etc/opt/redislabs
to one of the custom, non-root directories.
