What is Redis?

Redis is an open source (BSD licensed), in-memory data structure store, used as a cache for Saelem.

Setting up Redis

Prerequisites

You will need to install Docker if you want to easily create the Redis instance. You should also be sure to install docker-compose to make the process easiest.

Next we recommend you install PowerShell Core as we provide a PowerShell script to call various docker-compose commands. This is optional however, if you know your way around docker-compose or have an extension such as Docker for VSCode.

Starting your Redis instance

Start a Redis container:

# When using Powershell
yarn dockerps start redis

# When not using Powershell
docker-compose -p skyra -f ./.docker/docker-compose.yml up -d redis
