Welcome to our tutorial on how to Install Redis on Fedora 37/36/35/34/33/32. Redis is an open-source in-memory data store with optional persistent writes to disk. You can use Redis as a message broker, database or for caching. It supports strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets with range queries, bitmaps, hyperloglogs, geospatial indexes, and other data structures.
For Ubuntu:
Install Redis on Fedora 37/36/35/34/33/32
Follow the steps below to install Redis on Fedora. You can choose to do a clustered setup or a single instance installation. This installation is for a single instance but I’ll cover Redis cluster setup in my next article.
Step 1: Update Fedora system
Start the installation by ensuring your system is up to date.
sudo dnf -y updateStep 2: Install Redis on Fedora
Once your system is updated, install Redis on Fedora by running the command:
sudo dnf -y install redis
Step 3: Start Redis Service
Once the package is installed, start and enable Redis service to start on boot
sudo systemctl enable --now redisStep 4: Configure Redis Server on Fedora
We will consider few Redis standard configurations
Enable Listen on all interfaces
By default, Redis service listens on 127.0.0.1. Allow the service to listen on all network interfaces if you need remote clients to connect to it.
Open the file /etc/redis.conf with your favorite text editor
sudo vim /etc/redis.conf
Then change line 66 bind 127.0.0.1 to below:
bind 0.0.0.0Configure Redis Authentication
Configure Redis Authentication for clients to require AUTH <PASSWORD> before processing any other commands.
requirepass <AuthPassword>Example:
requirepass oobaiY8Set Persistent Store for Recovery
Set persistence mode by changing the appendonlyvalue to yes
appendonly yes
appendfilename "appendonly.aof"Restart redis service after making the changes
sudo systemctl restart redisIf you have an active firewalld service, allow port 6379
sudo firewall-cmd --add-port=6379/tcp --permanenent
sudo firewall-cmd --reloadCheck redis service status:
$ sudo systemctl status redis

Also verify the listen address:
$ sudo ss -tunelp | grep 6379

Confirm that you can connect to redis locally:
$ redis-cli
127.0.0.1:6379>Test authenticate:
127.0.0.1:6379> AUTH <AuthPassword>
OKYou should receive OK in the output. If you input a wrong password, Authentication should fail:
127.0.0.1:6379> AUTH WrongPassword
(error) ERR invalid passwordCheck redis information.
127.0.0.1:6379> INFOThis will output a long list of data. You can limit the output by passing Section as an argument. E.g.

Run the benchmark with 20 parallel connections, for a total of 100k requests, against local redis to test its performance.
$ redis-benchmark -h 127.0.0.1 -p 6379 -n 100000 -c 20
