Tutorial on how to start redis server on Mac. Posted in Uncategorized. This tutorial, we will learn how to start the redis server on Mac, assuming that you have already got it installed via “brew install redis” or other method found on the internet. Brew services start redis. Now execute the following command to have Redis continually run in the background: 1. Redis-server / usr / local / etc / redis.conf.
1. Overview
In this article, we will review the basics of how to use Redis with Spring Boot through the Spring Data Redis library.
We will build an application that demonstrates how to perform CRUD operations Redis through a web interface. The full source code for this project is available on Github.
2. What is Redis?
Redis is an open source, in-memory key-value data store, used as a database, cache and message broker. In terms of implementation, Key Value stores represent one of the largest and oldest members in the NoSQL space. Redis supports data structures such as strings, hashes, lists, sets, and sorted sets with range queries.
The Spring Data Redis framework makes it easy to write Spring applications that use the Redis key value store by providing an abstraction to the data store.

3. Setting Up A Redis Server
The server is available for free at http://redis.io/download.
If you use a Mac, you can install it with homebrew:
Then start the server:
4. Maven Dependencies
Let’s declare the necessary dependencies in our pom.xml for the example application we are building:
5. Redis Configuration
We need to connect our application with the Redis server. To establish this connection, we are using Jedis, a Redis client implementation.
5.1 Config
Let’s start with the configuration bean definitions:
The JedisConnectionFactory is made into a bean so we can create a RedisTemplate to query data.
5.2 Message Publisher
Following the principles of SOLID, we create a MessagePublisher interface:
We implement the MessagePublisher interface to use the high-level RedisTemplate to publish the message since the RedisTemplate allows arbitrary objects to be passed in as messages:
We also define this as a bean in RedisConfig:
Message Listener
In order to subscribe to messages, we need to implement the MessageListener interface: each time a new message arrives, a callback gets invoked and the user code executed through a method named onMessage. This interface gives access to the message, the channel it has been received through, and any pattern used by the subscription to match the channel.
Thus, we create a service class to implement MessageSubscriber:
We add a bean definition to RedisConfig:
6. RedisRepository
Now that we have configured the application to interact with the Redis server, we are going to prepare the application to take example data.
6.1 Model
For this example, we defining a Movie model with two fields:
6.2 Repository interface
Unlike other Spring Data projects, Spring Data Redis does offer any features to build on top of the other Spring Data interfaces. This is odd for us who have experience with the other Spring Data projects.
Often there is no need to write an implementation of a repository interface with Spring Data projects. We simply just interact with the interface. Spring Data JPA provides numerous repository interfaces that can be extended to get features such as CRUD operations, derived queries, and paging.
So, unfortunately, we need to write our own interface and then define the methods:
6.3 Repository implementation
Our implementation class uses the redisTemplate defined in our configuration class RedisConfig.
We use the HashOperations template that Spring Data Redis offers:
Let’s take note of the init() method. In this method, we use a function named opsForHash(), which returns the operations performed on hash values bound to the given key. We then use the hashOps, which was defined in init(), for all our CRUD operations.
7. Web interface
In this section, we will review adding Redis CRUD operations capabilities to a web interface.
7.1 Add A Movie
We want to be able to add a Movie in our web page. The Key is the is the Movie id and the Value is the actual object. However, we will later address this so only the Movie name is shown as the value.
So, let’s add a form to a HTML document and assign appropriate names and ids :
Now we use JavaScript to persist the values on form submission:
We assign the @RequestMapping value for the POST request, request the key and value, create a Movie object, and save it to the repository:
7.2 Viewing the content
Once a Movie object is added, we refresh the table to display an updated table. In our JavaScript code block for section 7.1, we called a JavaScript function called refreshTable(). This function performs a GET request to retrieve the current data in the repository:
The GET request is processed by a method named findAll() that retrieves all the Movie objects stored in the repository and then converts the datatype from Map<Object, Object> to Map<String, String>:
7.3 Delete a Movie
We write Javascript to do a POST request to/delete, refresh the table, and set keyboard focus to key input:
We request the key and delete the object in the redisRepository based on this key:
Brew Redis Start Date
8. Demo
Here we added two movies:
Here we removed one movie:
9. Conclusion
In this tutorial, we introduced Spring Data Redis and one way of connecting it to a web application to perform CRUD operations.
The source code for the example application is on Github.

This is a quick start document that targets people without prior experience with Redis. Reading this document will help you:
- Download and compile Redis to start hacking.
- Use redis-cli to access the server.
- Use Redis from your application.
- Understand how Redis persistence works.
- Install Redis more properly.
- Find out what to read next to understand more about Redis.
The suggested way of installing Redis is compiling it from sources as Redis has no dependencies other than a working GCC compiler and libc. Installing it using the package manager of your Linux distribution is somewhat discouraged as usually the available version is not the latest.
You can either download the latest Redis tar ball from the redis.io web site, or you can alternatively use this special URL that always points to the latest stable Redis version, that is, http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz.
In order to compile Redis follow these simple steps:
At this point you can test if your build has worked correctly by typing make test, but this is an optional step. After compilation the src directory inside the Redis distribution is populated with the different executables that are part of Redis:
- redis-server is the Redis Server itself.
- redis-sentinel is the Redis Sentinel executable (monitoring and failover).
- redis-cli is the command line interface utility to talk with Redis.
- redis-benchmark is used to check Redis performances.
- redis-check-aof and redis-check-rdb (redis-check-dump in 3.0 and below) are useful in the rare event of corrupted data files.
It is a good idea to copy both the Redis server and the command line interface into the proper places, either manually using the following commands:
- sudo cp src/redis-server /usr/local/bin/
- sudo cp src/redis-cli /usr/local/bin/
Or just using
sudo make install
.In the following documentation we assume that /usr/local/bin is in your PATH environment variable so that you can execute both the binaries without specifying the full path.
The simplest way to start the Redis server is just executing the redis-server binary without any argument.
In the above example Redis was started without any explicit configuration file, so all the parameters will use the internal default. This is perfectly fine if you are starting Redis just to play a bit with it or for development, but for production environments you should use a configuration file.
In order to start Redis with a configuration file use the full path of the configuration file as first argument, like in the following example: redis-server /etc/redis.conf. You should use the
redis.conf
file included in the root directory of the Redis source code distribution as a template to write your configuration file.External programs talk to Redis using a TCP socket and a Redis specific protocol. This protocol is implemented in the Redis client libraries for the different programming languages. However to make hacking with Redis simpler Redis provides a command line utility that can be used to send commands to Redis. This program is called redis-cli.
The first thing to do in order to check if Redis is working properly is sending a PING command using redis-cli:
![Brew Brew](/uploads/1/1/8/1/118186291/180567878.png)
Running redis-cli followed by a command name and its arguments will send this command to the Redis instance running on localhost at port 6379. You can change the host and port used by redis-cli, just try the --help option to check the usage information.
Another interesting way to run redis-cli is without arguments: the program will start in interactive mode, you can type different commands and see their replies.
At this point you are able to talk with Redis. It is the right time to pause a bit with this tutorial and start the fifteen minutes introduction to Redis data types in order to learn a few Redis commands. Otherwise if you already know a few basic Redis commands you can keep reading.
By default Redis binds to all the interfaces and has no authentication at all. If you use Redis in a very controlled environment, separated from the external internet and in general from attackers, that's fine. However if Redis without any hardening is exposed to the internet, it is a big security concern. If you are not 100% sure your environment is secured properly, please check the following steps in order to make Redis more secure, which are enlisted in order of increased security.
- Make sure the port Redis uses to listen for connections (by default 6379 and additionally 16379 if you run Redis in cluster mode, plus 26379 for Sentinel) is firewalled, so that it is not possible to contact Redis from the outside world.
- Use a configuration file where the
bind
directive is set in order to guarantee that Redis listens on only the network interfaces you are using. For example only the loopback interface (127.0.0.1) if you are accessing Redis just locally from the same computer, and so forth. - Use the
requirepass
option in order to add an additional layer of security so that clients will require to authenticate using the AUTH command. - Use spiped or another SSL tunneling software in order to encrypt traffic between Redis servers and Redis clients if your environment requires encryption.
Note that a Redis exposed to the internet without any security is very simple to exploit, so make sure you understand the above and apply at least a firewalling layer. After the firewalling is in place, try to connect with
redis-cli
from an external host in order to prove yourself the instance is actually not reachable.Of course using Redis just from the command line interface is not enough as the goal is to use it from your application. In order to do so you need to download and install a Redis client library for your programming language. You'll find a full list of clients for different languages in this page.
For instance if you happen to use the Ruby programming language our best advice is to use the Redis-rb client. You can install it using the command gem install redis.
These instructions are Ruby specific but actually many library clients for popular languages look quite similar: you create a Redis object and execute commands calling methods. A short interactive example using Ruby:
You can learn how Redis persistence works on this page, however what is important to understand for a quick start is that by default, if you start Redis with the default configuration, Redis will spontaneously save the dataset only from time to time (for instance after at least five minutes if you have at least 100 changes in your data), so if you want your database to persist and be reloaded after a restart make sure to call the SAVE command manually every time you want to force a data set snapshot. Otherwise make sure to shutdown the database using the SHUTDOWN command:
This way Redis will make sure to save the data on disk before quitting. Reading the persistence page is strongly suggested in order to better understand how Redis persistence works.
Running Redis from the command line is fine just to hack a bit with it or for development. However at some point you'll have some actual application to run on a real server. For this kind of usage you have two different choices:
- Run Redis using screen.
- Install Redis in your Linux box in a proper way using an init script, so that after a restart everything will start again properly.
A proper install using an init script is strongly suggested. The following instructions can be used to perform a proper installation using the init script shipped with Redis 2.4 in a Debian or Ubuntu based distribution.
Brew Redis Restart
We assume you already copied redis-server and redis-cli executables under /usr/local/bin.
- Create a directory in which to store your Redis config files and your data:
- Copy the init script that you'll find in the Redis distribution under the utils directory into /etc/init.d. We suggest calling it with the name of the port where you are running this instance of Redis. For example:
- Edit the init script.
Make sure to modify REDISPORT accordingly to the port you are using. Both the pid file path and the configuration file name depend on the port number.
- Copy the template configuration file you'll find in the root directory of the Redis distribution into /etc/redis/ using the port number as name, for instance:
- Create a directory inside /var/redis that will work as data and working directory for this Redis instance:
- Edit the configuration file, making sure to perform the following changes:
- Set daemonize to yes (by default it is set to no).
- Set the pidfile to
/var/run/redis_6379.pid
(modify the port if needed). - Change the port accordingly. In our example it is not needed as the default port is already 6379.
- Set your preferred loglevel.
- Set the logfile to
/var/log/redis_6379.log
- Set the dir to /var/redis/6379 (very important step!)
- Finally add the new Redis init script to all the default runlevels using the following command:
You are done! Now you can try running your instance with:
Brew Redis Start Up Kit
Make sure that everything is working as expected:
Brew Run Redis
- Try pinging your instance with redis-cli.
- Do a test save with redis-cli save and check that the dump file is correctly stored into /var/redis/6379/ (you should find a file called dump.rdb).
- Check that your Redis instance is correctly logging in the log file.
- If it's a new machine where you can try it without problems make sure that after a reboot everything is still working.
Note: In the above instructions we skipped many Redis configuration parameters that you would like to change, for instance in order to use AOF persistence instead of RDB persistence, or to setup replication, and so forth. Make sure to read the example
redis.conf
file (that is heavily commented) and the other documentation you can find in this web site for more information.
