How to install and setup Redis

We aggregate and tag open source projects. We have collections of more than one million projects. Check out the projects section.

Redis is an open source (BSD licensed), in-memory data structure store, used also as a database cache and message broker.
It is written in ANSI C and works in all the operating systems. It supports data structures such as strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets with range queries, bitmaps, hyperloglogs, geospatial indexes with radius queries and streams. This article explains about how to install Redis.

Installation

To install in Linux environment, download the tar ball and compile it. The instructions are available here.

To install in Windows, the redis package can be downloaded from the following links

https://github.com/dmajkic/redis/downloads

https://github.com/MicrosoftArchive/redis/releases

Once you install, you will find following binaries in the installed location.

redis-server is the Redis Server itself.
redis-sentinel is the Redis Sentinel executable (monitoring and failover).
redis-cli is the command line interface utility to talk with Redis.
redis-benchmark is used to check Redis performances.
redis-check-aof and redis-check-dump are useful in the rare event of corrupted data files.

Start the server

redis-server path/to/redis.conf

Connect to the server and check if it is responding.

redis-cli ping             // uses default localhost and redis port 6379

redis-cli -h hostname -p port ping

How to install and setup Redis Cluster

Redis cluster can be setup very easily in the recent version of redis 5. We need to create redis.conf for each node with following minimal configuration and start each node. In the below configuration, change port number for each instance.

port 7000
cluster-enabled yes
cluster-config-file nodes.conf
cluster-node-timeout 5000
appendonly yes

Alternatively you can use Redis CLI to create cluster. Following command will create 6 nodes of 3 master and 3 slaves.

redis-cli --cluster create 127.0.0.1:7000 127.0.0.1:7001 \
127.0.0.1:7002 127.0.0.1:7003 127.0.0.1:7004 127.0.0.1:7005 \
--cluster-replicas 1

Now the cluster is created, Connect to any node and then type cluster nodes, it will print all the details of this cluster.

 $ ./redis-cli -c -p 7000

   127.0.0.1:7000> cluster nodes

JWT Authentication using Auth0 Library

Json Web Token shortly called as JWT becomes defacto standard for authenticating REST API. In a traditional web application, once the user login credentials are validated, loggedin user object will be stored in session. Till user logs out, session will remain and user can work on the web application without any issues. Rest world is stateless, it is difficult to identify whether the user is already authenticated. One way is to use authenticate every API but that would be too expensive task as the client has to provide credentials in every API. Another approach is to use token.
