Install Redis on Ubuntu 18.04
Redis is an in-memory key-esteem store known for its adaptability, execution, and wide language support. This instructional exercise exhibits how to introduce, design, and secure Redis on a Ubuntu 18.04 server.
Prerequisites
You will have an Ubuntu 18.04 server with non-root and sudo privilege and a basic firewall configured.
Step 1 — Installing Redis
We need to update apt packages and install redis.
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install redis-server
This will be download redis and install with their dependencies in Ubuntu 18.04
Now we make change in configuration file to start server on init. (systemd)
Open config file using below command.
sudo nano /etc/redis/redis.conf
Inside file find <strong>supervised</strong>, Right now Its <strong>no</strong> make it <strong>systemd</strong>
after this change statement looks like this.
supervised systemd
After making change restart the server and test it working properly or not.
sudo systemctl restart redis.service
Testing Redis
check redis service.
sudo systemctl status redis
Connect server using Cli.
redis-cli
After that, test connectivity use ping command.
ping
you will get <strong>pong</strong> as an output.
Now we try to strore and get it.
set test "It's working!"
Output will be OK.
get test
Output will be “It’s working!”
Restart redis you can use below command
sudo systemctl restart redis
Now Binding it to the localhost ( web server.)
Open its configuration file and bind to the localhost ( 127.0.0.1 )
sudo nano /etc/redis/redis.conf
Locate this line and make sure it is uncommented (remove the # if it exists):
bind 127.0.0.1 ::1
Then, restart the service to ensure that systemd reads your changes:
sudo systemctl restart redis
