Redis Open Source with Modules - RPM Packaging

This repository provides tools and configurations to build and package Redis Open Source with additional modules as RPM packages for RHEL-compatible distributions.

Features

• Redis 8.0 with popular modules included:
  • RedisBloom
  • RediSearch
  • RedisTimeSeries
  • ReJSON
• Multi-architecture support (amd64/arm64)
• RPM packages for Rocky Linux 8/9/10 (compatible with RHEL 8/9/10, AlmaLinux 8/9/10)

Prerequisites

For Building RPMs

• Docker (for container-based builds)
• Go 1.21+ (for nfpm)
• Git

For Installing RPMs

• Rocky Linux 8/9/10, RHEL 8/9/10, AlmaLinux 8/9/10, or other compatible distributions
• Systemd

Installation

From Pre-built Packages

1. Install the package:

sudo dnf install -y ./redis-*.rpm

2. Enable and start Redis:

sudo systemctl enable redis
sudo systemctl start redis

3. Verify the installation:

redis-cli ping
redis-cli info modules  # Should show all included modules

Using GitHub Actions

The repository includes GitHub Actions workflows to automate the build process. To use them:

1. Fork this repository
2. Enable GitHub Actions in your fork
3. Set up any required secrets (if needed)
4. Push a tag in the format v* to trigger a release build

Configuration

After installation, Redis configuration files are located in /etc/redis/:

• Main Redis configuration: /etc/redis/redis.conf
• Sentinel configuration: /etc/redis/sentinel.conf

Log files are stored in /var/log/redis/, and data is stored in /var/lib/redis/.

To customize Redis configuration:

1. Edit the configuration file:

sudo vi /etc/redis/redis.conf

2. Restart Redis to apply changes:

sudo systemctl restart redis
