Redis is an in-memory database, cache and message broker. It supports strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, streams and other data structures. Redis also provides replication, scripting, transactions, on-disk persistence, high availability through Redis Sentinel and partitioning through Redis Cluster. Sentinel requires the optional Debian redis-sentinel package.

This appliance includes all the standard features in TurnKey Core, and on top of that:

  • Redis configuration:

    • Redis Server and its command-line tools come from Debian Trixie and use normal APT security updates.

    • First boot generates a strong Redis password. View it from Confconsole or run turnkey-redis-pw get as root.

    • First boot lets you keep Redis on localhost, bind all interfaces or enter a local address. Remote deployments should restrict TCP port 6379 to trusted clients with the firewall.

    • Debian's default RDB persistence remains enabled.

    • Includes the Redis Commander browser interface at https://<appliance>/redis-commander/.

  • HTTPS protects the landing page and Redis Commander management interface.

  • Postfix MTA (bound to localhost) to allow sending of email from web applications.

Supervised Redis Commander update

Always ensure that you have a current and tested backup before performing an upgrade. Test the update on a development server before updating production.:

su - node -c "cd /opt/tklweb-cp && npm install redis-commander@latest"
systemctl restart pm2-node

The npm lock file records registry integrity hashes. Redis Server itself is updated through APT.

Credentials (passwords set at first boot)

  • Webmin, SSH: username root

  • Redis Commander: username admin

Usage details & Logging in for Administration

No default passwords: For security reasons there are no default passwords. All passwords are set at system initialization time.

Ignore SSL browser warning: browsers don't like self-signed SSL certificates, but this is the only kind that can be generated automatically. If you have a domain configured, then via Confconsole Advanced menu, you can generate free Let's Encypt SSL/TLS certificates.

Web - point your browser at either:

  1. http://12.34.56.789/ - not encrypted so no browser warning
  2. https://12.34.56.789/ - encrypted with self-signed SSL certificate

Note: some appliances auto direct http to https.

Username for redis-commander:

Login as username admin

Username for OS system administration:

Login as root except on AWS marketplace which uses username admin.

  1. Point your browser to:
  2. Login with SSH client:
    ssh root@12.34.56.789

    Special case for AWS marketplace:

    ssh admin@12.34.56.789

* Replace 12.34.56.789 with a valid IP or hostname.
