Redis

Open Source, In-memory Data Structure Store

Redis can be used as a database, cache or message broker. It supports data structures such as strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets with range queries, bitmaps, hyperloglogs and geospatial indexes with radius queries. Redis has built-in replication, Lua scripting, LRU eviction, transactions and different levels of on-disk persistence, and provides high availability via Redis Sentinel (requires install of Debian redis-sentinel package) and automatic partitioning with Redis Cluster.

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

  • Redis configurations:
    • Installed from debian package repository (auto security updates).
    • Includes web based management tool Redis-commander.
    • Complex Redis system password auto-generated on firstboot (security).
    • Confconsole plugin provided to view Redis system password (convenience).
  • SSL support out of the box.
  • Postfix MTA (bound to localhost) to allow sending of email from web applications (e.g., password recovery)

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.
