Redis

Deployment

Bare-Metal (Linux)

To install Redis OSS on Linux, follow this official guide.

1. Add the Redis repository, update APT, and install Redis:

sudo apt-get install lsb-release curl gpg
curl -fsSL https://packages.redis.io/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/redis-archive-keyring.gpg
sudo chmod 644 /usr/share/keyrings/redis-archive-keyring.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/redis-archive-keyring.gpg] https://packages.redis.io/deb $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/redis.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install redis

2. Redis should start automatically and be configured to start at boot. If it doesn't start on reboot, enable it manually:

sudo systemctl enable redis-server
sudo systemctl start redis-server

3. Verify the status of the Redis service:

sudo systemctl status redis-server

4. Check the Redis server binary location:

which redis-server

/usr/bin/redis-server is the Redis server executable, installed system-wide.

Usage

Connect to Redis

Once Redis is running, test the connection using redis-cli:

redis-cli

Then run the PING command:

127.0.0.1:6379> ping
PONG

By default, Redis runs on port 6379.
