As part of the manual installation process (which is not recommended), install and configure the Redis database.
To install and configure the Redis database:
- Install Redis using the following commands:
RHEL
Install the
Redis
andjemalloc
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
SLES 12
zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/database/SLE_12_SP4/server:database.repo zypper refresh zypper install redis
SLES 15
zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/database/SLE_15/server:database.repo zypper refresh zypper in redis
- Start the Redis service, using the following commands:
RHEL
sudo systemctl enable redis sudo systemctl start redis
SLES 12
# Start the Redis service $ redis-server # Start Redis in the background $ redis-server --daemonize yes
You can use the following optional commands to ensure Redis is running as intended:
# Check if Redis is already running; will return PONG if running redis-cli ping # Stop the Redis service redis-cli shutdown
SLES 15
# Start the Redis service $ redis-server # Start Redis in the background $ redis-server --daemonize yes
You can use the following optional commands to ensure Redis is running as intended:
# Check if Redis is already running; will return PONG if running redis-cli ping # Stop the Redis service redis-cli shutdown
- 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.
