This guide will take you through how to install Redis on FreeBSD 13. Redis is a distributed, in-memory key-value database, cache, and message broker with optional durability that is used as an in-memory data structure store. A variety of abstract data structures are supported by Redis, including strings, lists, maps, sets, sorted sets, HyperLogLogs, bitmaps, streams, and spatial indices.

To setup "redis" you need to edit the configuration file:
/usr/local/etc/redis.conf
To run redis from startup, add redis_enable="YES"
in your /etc/rc.conf.
- Check the version of Redis installed using the command below.
pkg info redisSample output
redis-7.0.4 Name : redis Version : 7.0.4 Installed on : Thu Sep 8 17:58:49 2022 EAT Origin : databases/redis Architecture : FreeBSD:13:amd64 Prefix : /usr/local Categories : databases Licenses : BSD3CLAUSE Maintainer : [email protected] WWW : https://redis.io/ Comment : Persistent key-value database with built-in net interface Options : JEMALLOC : off LUA : off LUAJIT : off LUAJITOR : off TESTS : off TLS : on TRIB : off Annotations : FreeBSD_version: 1301000 cpe : cpe:2.3:a:redislabs:redis:7.0.4:::::freebsd13:x64 repo_type : binary repository : FreeBSD Flat size : 8.42MiB Description : Redis is an open source, advanced key-value store. It is often referred to as a data structure server since keys can contain strings, hashes, lists, sets and sorted sets. You can run atomic operations on these types, like appending to a string; incrementing the value in a hash; pushing to a list; computing set intersection, union and difference; or getting the member with highest ranking in a sorted set. In order to achieve its outstanding performance, Redis works with an in-memory dataset. Depending on your use case, you can persist it either by dumping the dataset to disk every once in a while, or by appending each command to a log. Redis also supports trivial-to-setup master-slave replication, with very fast non-blocking first synchronization, auto-reconnection on net split and so forth. WWW: https://redis.io/
- After the installation, start Redis.
service redis onestart- Then enable Redis on FreeBSD to start on system boot.
sysrc redis_enable="YES"- Redis should be running after starting it, confirm by checking its status.
service redis statusConfigure Redis on FreeBSD 13
- Open the Redis configuration file using the command below.
nano /usr/local/etc/redis.confThen search for requirepass foobared, uncomment it by removing # and change foobared with the password of your choice.
# IMPORTANT NOTE: starting with Redis 6 "requirepass" is just a compatibility # layer on top of the new ACL system. The option effect will be just setting # the password for the default user. Clients will still authenticate using # AUTH as usually, or more explicitly with AUTH default # if they follow the new protocol: both will work. # # The requirepass is not compatible with aclfile option and the ACL LOAD # command, these will cause requirepass to be ignored. # requirepass YourStrongPassword # New users are initialized with restrictive permissions by default, via the # equivalent of this ACL rule 'off resetkeys -@all'. Starting with Redis 6.2, it # is possible to manage access to Pub/Sub channels with ACL rules as well.
- To access Redis from specific IP, uncomment bind 127.0.0.1 by removing # and add your IP address e.g.
bind 192.168.115.14- Next, restart Redis using the following command to apply changes.
service redis restartTest Redis on FreeBSD 13
- Launch Redis CLI using the command below.
redis-cli- Next, authenticate by entering your password.
auth YourStrongPassword- Run ping test.
pingSample output
127.0.0.1:6379> auth YourStrongPassword OK 127.0.0.1:6379> ping PONG 127.0.0.1:6379> exit
