Redis installation and configuration

As part of the manual installation process (which is not recommended), install and configure the Redis database.

To install and configure the Redis database:

1. Install Redis using the following commands:

   RHEL

   Install the Redis and jemalloc installation packages you extracted from the installer. Use the following commands, replacing the exact file names:

   sudo yum install redis-filename.rpm jemalloc-filename.rpm

2. Start the Redis service, using the following commands:

   RHEL

   sudo systemctl enable redis
   sudo systemctl start redis

3. OPTIONAL: If you are setting up Redis on a host that is separate from the RaaS node, you need to configure Redis to accept remote connections and to limit access using a password. To do this, update the /etc/redis.conf file, specifying the bind parameter and setting the password that your RaaS nodes should use to authenticate.

   bind0.0.0.0
   requirepass {{ your_redis_password }}

After installing and configuring Redis, proceed to the next section.

What to do next

After installing and configuring Redis, the next step is to install and configure RaaS. See RaaS installation and configuration for more information.
