I’m working on a simple playbook to install redis from the remi repo. When I do this manually on the target server I do the following:

- `wget http://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm`

- `sudo rpm -Uvh remi-release-6.rpm`

- `sudo vim /etc/yum.repos.d/remi.repo #to mark the repo as enabled`

- `sudo yum install redis`

- `sudo chkconfig redis on`

- `sudo service redis start`  
I think I have most of the stuff figured out like starting the service and installing via yum once the repo is installed. Just wondering how I can automated installing the rpm from the URL and setting the repo to enabled.

I’ll continue playing with it but wanted to ask for a little guidance since it’s been a year + since I’ve worked with Ansible.

Thanks folks!

Try to use “yumrepo” module to enable yum repository.

Thanks, I did some digging and figured it out. This playbook takes care of everything now, just had to do a little digging on enabling the repo via yum.

with:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;service: name=redis state=started enabled=yes

you don't need to call chkconfig
