How Install Redis server on Debian linux distro
Redis is an open-source, in-memory, data-structure store with optional disk writes for persistence, which can be used as key-value database, cache and message broker. Redis features built-in transactions, replication, and support for a
variety of data structures such as strings, hashes, lists, sets and others. Redis can be made highly available with Redis Sentinel and supports automatic partitioning with Redis Cluster. This document provides both instructions for depl
oying the Redis server and an overview of best practices for maintaining Redis instances.
Install Redis on Debian Stretch
The Redis package in the Debian repositories is outdated and lacks several security patches; consequently, we’ll use a debian stretch BACKPORTS repository for installation.
ADD backports repository to end of your /etc/apt/sources.list file
# stretch-backports, previously on backports.debian.org
deb http://ftp.cz.debian.org/debian/ stretch-backports main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.cz.debian.org/debian/ stretch-backports main contrib non-free
Run in shell this commands to update your repository and upgrade your system:
~]$ apt-get update
~]$ apt-get upgrade
Install redis-server package from backports repository:
~]$ apt-get -t stretch-backports install redis-server redis-tools
First steps in your redis server
Verify, that you can connect to your redis server:
~]$ redis-cli
127.0.0.1:6379> ping
