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).

  Security note: Updates to Redis Commander may require supervision so they ARE NOT configured to install automatically. See `Plone documentation`_ for upgrading.

• SSL support out of the box.

• Postfix MTA (bound to localhost) to allow sending of email from web applications (e.g., password recovery).

Supervised Manual Redis Commander Update

su - node -c "cd /opt/tklweb-cp && npm update"

Credentials (passwords set at first boot)

• Webmin, SSH: username root
