The catalogue
Redis
Local only, a password it refuses to work without, persistence and a memory ceiling you set.
- Module
- db.redis
- Category
- Databases
What it installs
- Redis bound to 127.0.0.1 on the port you pick, refusing anyone who does not have the password.
- The append-only journal, if you want the data to survive a restart, and a memory ceiling if you want one.
What it asks you for
- The password. It can be generated for you and is never displayed again.
- The port. 6379 by default.
- Whether to keep persistence on.
- The memory ceiling in megabytes. Zero means no ceiling.
- What gets evicted once the ceiling is reached. Without a ceiling, nothing is.
Good to know
The install ends by checking that the password actually opens the server, rather than assuming it. Uninstalling takes back the package and the configuration; what Redis wrote under /var/lib/redis stays.
