What is this?

This repository allows you to quickly install Redis into a DDEV project using the instructions below.

Installation

For DDEV v1.23.5 or above run

ddev add-on get ddev/ddev-redis

For earlier versions of DDEV run

ddev get ddev/ddev-redis

Then restart your project

ddev restart

With DDEV v1.23.5+ you can choose a different Redis tag, the command below creates a .ddev/.env.redis file that you can commit:

1. ddev dotenv set .ddev/.env.redis --redis-tag 7
2. ddev restart

Explanation

This Redis recipe for DDEV installs a .ddev/docker-compose.redis.yaml using the redis Docker image.

Persistence is disabled by default (see redis.conf), follow the config instructions to enable it, or switch to https://github.com/ddev/ddev-redis-7 where it is enabled by default.

Interacting with Redis

• The Redis instance will listen on TCP port 6379 (the Redis default).
• Configure your application to access Redis on the host:port redis:6379.
• To reach the Redis CLI interface, run ddev redis-cli to begin a session. You can also run Redis CLI commands directly on the command-line, e.g., ddev redis-cli INFO.
