Redis is our weapon of choice for handling multi-node scenarios, and works just fine with TYPO3 and Caching. This extension provides a Redis Locking mechanism to store the locks in a (shared) Redis database. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) This extension is available for TYPO3 v8+ LTS, and requires the PHP package `php-redis` as well as a Redis server. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install this extension via composer `composer require b13/distributed-locks` or extensions.typo3.org / Extension Manager, and activate it in the Extension Manager. Now add the following lines to your LocalConfiguration / AdditionalConfiguration to activate Redis Locking. ``` $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['locking']['redis'] = [ 'hostname' => '127.0.0.1', 'database' => 12 ]; ``` Other options: ``` 'ttl' (numeric, default is 30sec) 'port' (numeric, default is 6379) 'password' (contains the password, necessary for secure authentication if required by redis) 'priority' (numeric, default is 95) - Set priority for this locking strategy. See LockingApi documentation. ``` Disabling it in certain contextes --------------------------------- [](#disabling-it-in-certain-contextes) If you have different `TYPO3_CONTEXT` or environments and you want to switch off the complete redis strategy (i.e. in your staging machine), you can set this in your LocalConfiguration / AdditionalConfiguration: ``` $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['locking']['redis']['disabled'] = true; ``` Future Development ------------------ [](#future-development) Should be switched to `symfony/lock` to allow distributed redis services and other lockers. Credits & Background ------------------------ [](#credits--background) Inspiration was taken from the now unmaintained extension "redis\_lock\_strategy" which we used several times, however with some drawbacks: - No stable version for TYPO3 v9 in composer mode - No maintainer available for releases anymore - Destroying an object did not remove locks, ending in certain dead lock scenarios in broken scripts Thanks to Alexander Miehe for the initial extension and the conceptual work.
