Redis Configuration

Redis is, at its basic level, a key-value caching mechanism used by many applications to store data ephemerally that can be offloaded from relational databases. A prime example of its use is as a caching system for Drupal and other web-based applications from NodeJS to Dotcore and Python.

Redis comes onboard every Probo.CI build. There is no special insructions for adding it to your build container. You simply need to configure your application to use it. The connection string for Redis is redis://localhost:6379. In otherwords:

Hostname: localhost
Port: 6379
Password: null

A Drupal Example

For using this in Drupal, you can configure your Drupal build step with the Drupal plugin. Simply add:

redis: true

to the Drupal plugin configuration configuration and let Probo.CI take care of the rest.
