Transfer Session Files to Redis command for Laravel

This package provides an Artisan command for Laravel to transfer existing session from file-based storage to Redis. It is intended to be used during a migration from file-based to Redis session management, in order to preserve existing sessions.

Requirements

• PHP 5.5
• Laravel 4 or 5

Installation

Composer

Run the following to include this via Composer

composer require rubenarakelyan/laravel-session-files-to-redis

Laravel Configuration

To install into a Laravel project, first do the composer install then add the following class to your config/app.php service providers list.

RubenArakelyan\LaravelSessionFilesToRedis\LaravelServiceProvider::class,

Artisan Command

The Artisan command registered by this command is session:transfer-session-files-to-redis. Running this command will output Redis protocol-compatible commands. By default, the command outputs to the standard console output. To run the output commands in Redis, you need to pipe the output of this command to the redis-cli application as follows:

php artisan session:transfer-session-files-to-redis | redis-cli --pipe

Once this has been completed successfully, you can switch the Laravel session configuration to use Redis, and delete the old session files.
