Using Redis (a) installation under Windows

First, what isRedis

Redis is a high performance Key-value storage System (cache and store) issued under the BSD Open Source protocol. It is commonly referred to as a data structure server, because the value can bea string (string), a hash (Map), a list, a collection (Sets ), an ordered set (sorted sets) and a bitmap (bitmaps) type. The official website is http://redis.io/

　　The comparison of Redis and other no SQL does not make much of a description of this article. I think the best part of Redis is to provide data persistence (to write the data in memory at timed intervals), so that data loss will not be lost once the outage is done. And, compared to Memcached , it provides a more broad selection of value types.

Second,Redis Download installation

Open the redis official website, we found that Redis officially does not support the Windows platform, but Microsoft open Tech Group has changed this situation

Click Learn more

Click Download ZIP, unzip after download, we found that it does not provide ready to execute the installation files, which requires us to compile themselves. Navigate to Directory Redis\redis2.8\msvs, open file RedisServer.sln

Project structure such as

Since the author's machine is 64 bits, before compiling we confirm compile Platform, and we can see that for this project will compile produce redis-server.exe file

Similar to other projects

After the compilation is successful, we find the compiled file in its Debug directory

For ease of handling, we create a new directory Redisand copy the files to the past

redis.conf from the following directory

Now that we've got all the required files, we can use them, open CMD, navigate to directory D:\Developer\Redis\Redis, and execute the following command

Redis-server.exe redis.conf

Successful execution (you can see that the port is 6379 and the process identifier PID is 7696)

The implementation process will also read the configuration, because it is too long, so the text is released here

　　server side OK, now we open a client side to test, new open CMD (previously opened cmd-server end cannot be closed)

Redis-cli.exe-h 10.7.15.172-p 6379

Where 10.7.15.172 is the native IP

Set Hello HelloWorld

Set a value

Get Hello

Read this value

About 15 minutes later, we found a change in the server side.

The original 15 minutes automatically writes in-memory data to the RDF file in case of loss.

As for why it is 15 minutes, we can see that the configuration file is set up (a change/900 seconds, 10 changes/300 seconds, 10000 changes/60 seconds), that is, the more changes in the data to write to the file time interval shorter, so the design is quite reasonable.

III.Redis Desktop Manager

Although we can see the redis data in memory through the above CMD , but the way is too unfriendly, here is a tool for Redis Desktop Manager

Install after download is complete, then connect to Server

Click to view data

Iv.Install Redis as Windows Service

We installed the Redis in front of CMD , but it was very inconvenient, because we had to keep the window open, and it needed to be reopened if the machine restarted. Redis can also be deployed in the same way as Windows Service . We need to locate the configuration file before deployment

Then copy to the Redis directory

Installation Services

Redis-server--service-install redis.windows.conf

Installation Success Tips

View Services

Start the service

Redis-server--service-start

Stop Service

Redis-server--service-stop

Uninstall Service

Redis-server--service-uninstall

One way to install Windows Services is to download the installation files directly from Github , but it doesn't seem to be the latest version.
