Redis\*
#######
In this tutorial, you'll install :abbr:`Redis (REmote DIctionary Server)`
and launch a `Redis-server` on |CL-ATTR|. We invite you to pull our
`Clear Linux Redis instance`_ on Docker Hub\* for application or
infrastructure development.

Description
***********
Redis is an in-memory key:value store designed for quick lookups, accessible
over a network. While the `redis data structure store`_ can serve
as a NoSQL database for a web application, it's also easy to integrate into an
existing stack. For example, you could use the Redis caching layer for
real-time responses on a leaderboard in a gaming app. Redis offers many client
libraries with language-specific bindings for Python\*, Perl\*, Ruby, and more.
Install the Redis bundle
************************
#. Log in as a user with administrative privilege.
#. Open a terminal.
#. Update your |CL| to the latest version.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo swupd update
#. Install the `redis-native` bundle.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo swupd bundle-add redis-native
Start the Redis-server
**********************
A :command:`systemd` service unit is available to control the Redis-server.
By default, Redis runs on port 6379.
#. Start the service and set it to start automatically on boot.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo systemctl enable --now redis
#. Confirm the service is running.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo systemctl status redis
#. Verify that the Redis-server sends a reply.
.. code-block:: bash
redis-cli ping
Expected output:
.. code-block:: console
PONG
.. note::
If you wish to customize settings for Redis, copy the
default :file:`/usr/share/defaults/etc/redis.conf` file into the
/etc/ directory, make changes as needed, and restart the service.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo cp -v /usr/share/defaults/etc/redis.conf /etc/
The Redis-server is now ready to use on |CL|. Try some of the examples shown
below.
Example 1: Use the redis-cli and commands
*****************************************
One advantage of Redis over other NoSQL databases is that developers can
easily access data structures like lists, sets, sorted sets, strings, and
hashes using collection operations commands similar to those found in many
programming languages. These exercises are inspired by `try redis io`_.
After your Redis-server is running, try some basic commands.
#. Start `redis-cli`. It provides syntax suggestions as you type.
.. code-block:: bash
redis-cli
#. :command:`SET` a key to hold a string value. In the set, create connections
and increment.
.. code-block:: none
SET server:name "clearlinux"
.. code-block:: none
MGET server:name
.. note::
If the key does not exist or hold a key value, `nil` is returned.
.. code-block:: none
SET connections 100
.. code-block:: none
INCR connections
.. code-block:: none
INCR connections
.. code-block:: none
DEL connections
#. Create a `friends` list and insert new values at the end of the list.
.. code-block:: none
RPUSH friends "Deb"
.. code-block:: none
RPUSH friends "David"
.. code-block:: none
RPUSH friends "Mary"
#. Modify the `friends` list, using a common slice method with a 0-index.
.. code-block:: none
LRANGE friends 0 1
.. code-block:: none
LLEN friends
.. code-block:: none
LPOP friends
.. code-block:: none
RPOP friends
.. code-block:: none
LLEN friends
#. Consider using a hash, which maps string fields and string values, and
offers multiple lookup methods.
Enter many user key:values with `HMSET`. Then try `HGET` and `HGETALL`.
.. code-block:: none
HMSET user:1000 name "Robert Noyce" password "SuperEngi9eer" email "robert.noyce@intel.com"
.. code-block:: none
HGET user:1000 name
.. code-block:: none
HGET user:1000 email
.. code-block:: none
HGETALL user:1000
Example 2: Run the |CL| Redis Docker\* image
********************************************
We also provide a `Clear Linux Redis instance`_, which is
updated continuously and maintained by |CL| development.
.. code-block:: bash
sudo swupd bundle-add containers-basic
.. code-block:: bash
sudo systemctl start docker
.. code-block:: bash
sudo -E docker pull clearlinux/redis
