You can only enable these services by using a local extender (the `extend.php` in the root of your Flarum installation). See the "Set up" section below. > This is an advanced utility for webmasters! ### Installation [](#installation) Install manually with composer: ``` composer require blomstra/flarum-redis:* ``` ### Set up [](#set-up) In your `extend.php`: ``` return [ new Blomstra\Redis\Extend\Redis([ 'host' => '127.0.0.1', 'password' => null, 'port' => 6379, 'database' => 1 ]) ]; ``` This enables sessions, cache and queue to run on redis. > See "Use different database for each service" below to split up the database for cache vs sessions, queue because a cache clear action will clear sessions and queue jobs as well if they share the same database. #### Advanced configuration [](#advanced-configuration) 1. Disable specific services: ``` return [ (new Blomstra\Redis\Extend\Redis([ 'host' => '127.0.0.1', 'password' => null, 'port' => 6379, 'database' => 1, ]))->disable(['cache', 'queue']) ]; ``` 2. Use different database for each service: ``` return [ (new Blomstra\Redis\Extend\Redis([ 'host' => '127.0.0.1', 'password' => null, 'port' => 6379, 'database' => 1, ])) ->useDatabaseWith('cache', 1) ->useDatabaseWith('queue', 2) ->useDatabaseWith('session', 3) ]; ``` 3. Completely separate the config array: ``` return [ (new Blomstra\Redis\Extend\Redis([ 'connections' => [ 'cache' => [ 'host' => 'cache.int.yoursite.com', 'password' => 'foo-bar', 'port' => 6379, 'database' => 1, ], 'queue' => [ 'host' => 'queue.int.yoursite.com', 'password' => 'foo-bar', 'port' => 6379, 'database' => 1, ], 'session' => [ 'host' => 'session.int.yoursite.com', 'password' => 'foo-bar', 'port' => 6379, 'database' => 1, ], ], ])) ]; ``` 4. Use a cluster: ``` return [ (new Blomstra\Redis\Extend\Redis([ 'host' => '127.0.0.1', 'password' => null, 'port' => 6379, 'database' => 1, 'options' => [ 'replication' => 'sentinel', 'service' => 'mymaster:26379', ] ])) ->useDatabaseWith('cache', 1) ->useDatabaseWith('queue', 2) ->useDatabaseWith('session', 3) ]; ``` #### Queue [](#queue) Make sure to start your queue workers, see the [laravel documentation](https://laravel.com/docs/6.x/queues#running-the-queue-worker) for specifics. To test the worker can start use `php flarum queue:work`. ##### Queue options [](#queue-options) The queue allows for several options to be added, retry\_after, block\_for and after\_commit. You can set these by adding a `queue` array in the configuration: ``` return [ (new Blomstra\Redis\Extend\Redis([ 'host' => '127.0.0.1', 'password' => null, 'port' => 6379, 'database' => 1, 'queue' => [ 'retry_after' => 120, // seconds 'block_for' => 5, // seconds 'after_commit' => true ] ])) ->useDatabaseWith('cache', 1) ->useDatabaseWith('queue', 2) ->useDatabaseWith('session', 3) ]; ``` You can read up on the meaning of these options in the [Laravel Documentation](https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/queues#redis). ### Updating [](#updating) ``` composer update blomstra/flarum-redis ``` ### FAQ [](#faq) *Why are there still files in storage/cache?*Some code still relies on physical files being present. This includes the formatter cache and the view caches. ### Links [](#links) - [Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/blomstra/flarum-redis) - [GitHub](https://github.com/blomstra/flarum-redis) --- - Blomstra provides managed Flarum hosting. - - ### Health Score 31 — LowBetter than 66% of packages Maintenance17 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity26 Limited adoption so far Community14 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity56 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 83.9% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
