3 # Note on units: when memory size is needed, it is possible to specifiy
4 # it in the usual form of 1k 5GB 4M and so forth:
5 #
6 # 1k => 1000 bytes
7 # 1kb => 1024 bytes
8 # 1m => 1000000 bytes
9 # 1mb => 1024*1024 bytes
10 # 1g => 1000000000 bytes
11 # 1gb => 1024*1024*1024 bytes
12 #
13 # units are case insensitive so 1GB 1Gb 1gB are all the same.

15 # By default Redis does not run as a daemon. Use 'yes' if you need it.
16 # Note that Redis will write a pid file in /var/run/redis.pid when daemonized.
17 daemonize no
18
19 # When run as a daemon, Redis write a pid file in /var/run/redis.pid by default.
20 # You can specify a custom pid file location here.
21 pidfile /var/run/redis.pid
22
23 # Accept connections on the specified port, default is 6379
24 port 6379

26 # If you want you can bind a single interface, if the bind option is not
27 # specified all the interfaces will listen for connections.
28 #
29 # bind 127.0.0.1

31 # Close the connection after a client is idle for N seconds (0 to disable)
32 timeout 300

34 # Set server verbosity to 'debug'
35 # it can be one of:
36 # debug (a lot of information, useful for development/testing)
37 # verbose (many rarely useful info, but not a mess like the debug level)
38 # notice (moderately verbose, what you want in production probably)
39 # warning (only very important / critical messages are logged)
40 loglevel verbose
41
42 # Specify the log file name. Also 'stdout' can be used to force
43 # the demon to log on the standard output. Note that if you use standard
44 # output for logging but daemonize, logs will be sent to /dev/null
45 logfile stdout

47 # Set the number of databases. The default database is DB 0, you can select
48 # a different one on a per-connection basis using SELECT <dbid> where
49 # dbid is a number between 0 and 'databases'-1

60 #
61 # In the example below the behaviour will be to save:

85 ################################# REPLICATION #################################
86
87 # Master-Slave replication. Use slaveof to make a Redis instance a copy of
88 # another Redis server. Note that the configuration is local to the slave
89 # so for example it is possible to configure the slave to save the DB with a
90 # different interval, or to listen to another port, and so on.
91 #
92 # slaveof <masterip> <masterport>
93
94 # If the master is password protected (using the "requirepass" configuration
95 # directive below) it is possible to tell the slave to authenticate before
96 # starting the replication synchronization process, otherwise the master will
97 # refuse the slave request.
98 #
99 # masterauth <master-password>
100
101 ################################## SECURITY ###################################
102
103 # Require clients to issue AUTH <PASSWORD> before processing any other
104 # commands. This might be useful in environments in which you do not trust
105 # others with access to the host running redis-server.
106 #
107 # This should stay commented out for backward compatibility and because most
108 # people do not need auth (e.g. they run their own servers).
109 #
110 # requirepass foobared
111
112 ################################### LIMITS ####################################
113
114 # Set the max number of connected clients at the same time. By default there
115 # is no limit, and it's up to the number of file descriptors the Redis process
116 # is able to open. The special value '0' means no limits.
117 # Once the limit is reached Redis will close all the new connections sending
118 # an error 'max number of clients reached'.
119 #
120 # maxclients 128
121
122 # Don't use more memory than the specified amount of bytes.
123 # When the memory limit is reached Redis will try to remove keys with an
124 # EXPIRE set. It will try to start freeing keys that are going to expire
125 # in little time and preserve keys with a longer time to live.
126 # Redis will also try to remove objects from free lists if possible.
127 #
128 # If all this fails, Redis will start to reply with errors to commands
129 # that will use more memory, like SET, LPUSH, and so on, and will continue
130 # to reply to most read-only commands like GET.
131 #
132 # WARNING: maxmemory can be a good idea mainly if you want to use Redis as a
133 # 'state' server or cache, not as a real DB. When Redis is used as a real
134 # database the memory usage will grow over the weeks, it will be obvious if
135 # it is going to use too much memory in the long run, and you'll have the time
136 # to upgrade. With maxmemory after the limit is reached you'll start to get
137 # errors for write operations, and this may even lead to DB inconsistency.
138 #

141 ############################## APPEND ONLY MODE ###############################
142
143 # By default Redis asynchronously dumps the dataset on disk. If you can live
144 # with the idea that the latest records will be lost if something like a crash
145 # happens this is the preferred way to run Redis. If instead you care a lot
146 # about your data and don't want to that a single record can get lost you should
147 # enable the append only mode: when this mode is enabled Redis will append
148 # every write operation received in the file appendonly.aof. This file will
149 # be read on startup in order to rebuild the full dataset in memory.
150 #
151 # Note that you can have both the async dumps and the append only file if you
152 # like (you have to comment the "save" statements above to disable the dumps).
153 # Still if append only mode is enabled Redis will load the data from the
154 # log file at startup ignoring the dump.rdb file.
155 #
156 # The name of the append only file is "appendonly.aof"
157 #
158 # IMPORTANT: Check the BGREWRITEAOF to check how to rewrite the append
159 # log file in background when it gets too big.
160
161 appendonly no
162
163 # The fsync() call tells the Operating System to actually write data on disk
164 # instead to wait for more data in the output buffer. Some OS will really flush
165 # data on disk, some other OS will just try to do it ASAP.
166 #
167 # Redis supports three different modes:
168 #
169 # no: don't fsync, just let the OS flush the data when it wants. Faster.
170 # always: fsync after every write to the append only log . Slow, Safest.
171 # everysec: fsync only if one second passed since the last fsync. Compromise.
172 #
173 # The default is "everysec" that's usually the right compromise between
174 # speed and data safety. It's up to you to understand if you can relax this to
175 # "no" that will will let the operating system flush the output buffer when
176 # it wants, for better performances (but if you can live with the idea of
177 # some data loss consider the default persistence mode that's snapshotting),
178 # or on the contrary, use "always" that's very slow but a bit safer than
179 # everysec.
180 #
181 # If unsure, use "everysec".
182
183 # appendfsync always
184 appendfsync everysec
185 # appendfsync no

187 ################################ VIRTUAL MEMORY ###############################
188
189 # Virtual Memory allows Redis to work with datasets bigger than the actual
190 # amount of RAM needed to hold the whole dataset in memory.
191 # In order to do so very used keys are taken in memory while the other keys
192 # are swapped into a swap file, similarly to what operating systems do
193 # with memory pages.
194 #
195 # To enable VM just set 'vm-enabled' to yes, and set the following three
196 # VM parameters accordingly to your needs.
197
198 vm-enabled no
199 # vm-enabled yes
200
201 # This is the path of the Redis swap file. As you can guess, swap files
202 # can't be shared by different Redis instances, so make sure to use a swap
203 # file for every redis process you are running.
204 #
205 # The swap file name may contain "%p" that is substituted with the PID of
206 # the Redis process, so the default name /tmp/redis-%p.vm will work even
207 # with multiple instances as Redis will use, for example, redis-811.vm
208 # for one instance and redis-593.vm for another one.
209 #
210 # Useless to say, the best kind of disk for a Redis swap file (that's accessed
211 # at random) is a Solid State Disk (SSD).
212 #
213 # *** WARNING *** if you are using a shared hosting the default of putting
214 # the swap file under /tmp is not secure. Create a dir with access granted
215 # only to Redis user and configure Redis to create the swap file there.

217
218 # vm-max-memory configures the VM to use at max the specified amount of
219 # RAM. Everything that deos not fit will be swapped on disk *if* possible, that
220 # is, if there is still enough contiguous space in the swap file.
221 #
222 # With vm-max-memory 0 the system will swap everything it can. Not a good
223 # default, just specify the max amount of RAM you can in bytes, but it's
224 # better to leave some margin. For instance specify an amount of RAM
225 # that's more or less between 60 and 80% of your free RAM.
226 vm-max-memory 0
227
228 # Redis swap files is split into pages. An object can be saved using multiple
229 # contiguous pages, but pages can't be shared between different objects.
230 # So if your page is too big, small objects swapped out on disk will waste
231 # a lot of space. If you page is too small, there is less space in the swap
232 # file (assuming you configured the same number of total swap file pages).
233 #
234 # If you use a lot of small objects, use a page size of 64 or 32 bytes.
235 # If you use a lot of big objects, use a bigger page size.
236 # If unsure, use the default :)
237 vm-page-size 32
238
239 # Number of total memory pages in the swap file.
240 # Given that the page table (a bitmap of free/used pages) is taken in memory,
241 # every 8 pages on disk will consume 1 byte of RAM.
242 #
243 # The total swap size is vm-page-size * vm-pages
244 #
245 # With the default of 32-bytes memory pages and 134217728 pages Redis will
246 # use a 4 GB swap file, that will use 16 MB of RAM for the page table.
247 #
248 # It's better to use the smallest acceptable value for your application,
249 # but the default is large in order to work in most conditions.
250 vm-pages 134217728
251
252 # Max number of VM I/O threads running at the same time.
253 # This threads are used to read/write data from/to swap file, since they
254 # also encode and decode objects from disk to memory or the reverse, a bigger
255 # number of threads can help with big objects even if they can't help with
256 # I/O itself as the physical device may not be able to couple with many
257 # reads/writes operations at the same time.
258 #
259 # The special value of 0 turn off threaded I/O and enables the blocking
260 # Virtual Memory implementation.
