Setup latest Redis on Ubuntu

Setting up latest Redis on Ubuntu

• add-apt-repository ppa:rwky/redis
• apt-get update
• apt-get install redis
• nano /etc/redis/redis.conf
• service redis-server restart

Extra: Ensure Durable Redis

(make Redis durable on every dataset change)

• nano /etc/redis/redis.conf
• Comment out:

  # save 900 1  
  # save 300 10  
  # save 60 10000
  

• Change:

  appendonly yes  
  appendfsync always
  

• Ensure:

  no-appendfsync-on-rewrite no  
  auto-aof-rewrite-percentage 100  
  auto-aof-rewrite-min-size 64mb
  

Cleanup: delete /var/lib/redis/dump.rdb since we’re not using snapshots.

The AOF file is in /var/lib/redis/appendonly.aof; this is your dataset on disk.

Log files are in /var/log/redis/redis.log

Hope that helps,
