The scripts in this repo will spawn redis instances in a cluster on Triton as a tenant. This is not part of Triton itself.

This depends on node-triton. If you don't already have node-triton installed you can run make to install it as a dependency.

To create a new cluster, use the spawn_redis_instance.sh script to spawn only one new instance. The account and profile parameters will default to your current triton profile. All other parameters are required.

./spawn_redis_instance.sh -p profile -a account -n network -P prefix -t redis_token
    -p profile  A triton cli profile name
    -a account  Triton cli account
    -n network  Network Name
    -b bastion  Bastion instance name
    -P prefix   Prefix name to identify this cluster
    -t token    Secret token to authenticate this cluster

The network should be a private network, (ideally, a fabric network). The bastion will be used to ProxyJump automatically when using triton ssh. The bastion is a separate instance that needs to have a link on an external network that you can ssh to, and a link on the network specified by the network parameter.

After creating the first instance, verify it has bootstrapped properly by triton sshing to it. If it looks good (there should be both redis and sentinel SMF services running), then you can create additional instances.

The recomended minimum is 3 instances. Create as many as necessary to handle the expected load but you should always have an odd number to guarantee that a qorum can be established in the event of a network split.
