Redis | Support by cloudimg

This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for cloudimg support services.

Overview Redis is the open source in memory key value store widely used as a database, cache, message broker and streaming engine. This image delivers Redis fully installed and configured, so a working Redis node is running within minutes of launch. The currently shipped line is the final open source release line under the BSD licence, suitable for teams that need an unambiguously open source build of Redis.

What Is Included Redis server and the redis-cli command line client, installed from the official Redis package repository. The Redis service auto starts on boot and listens for clients on port 6379. A small static identification page is served on port 80 to confirm the image is alive and to direct administrators to the credentials file.

Authentication Enabled By Default The image ships with password authentication switched on. Anonymous connections are refused. The password is applied through a configuration drop in so it is not stored in the main Redis configuration file.

Secure First Boot On the first boot of your instance a one shot service generates a fresh, strong password for the default Redis user, unique to that instance, applies it to the running server and writes it to a file that only the root user can read. No shared or default Redis credential ships in the image.

Ready To Use Connect over SSH, read the generated Redis password and open redis-cli to start storing keys, building caches or wiring up streams. Persistence is enabled by default with periodic RDB snapshots; append only persistence and tighter memory caps are documented in the user guide.

cloudimg Support 24/7 technical support by email and chat. Help with Redis deployment, persistence configuration, memory tuning, cache eviction policy choices, replication and operations.
