How to Install Redis on CloudLinux with CageFS

To install Redis on CloudLinux with CageFS, you'll need to follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your Server:

    Access your CloudLinux server using SSH or a terminal emulator.

  2. Enable EPEL Repository:

    Redis is available in the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository. If it's not already enabled, you can enable it by running:

    bash

 

  • sudo yum install epel-release
  • Install Redis:

    Once the EPEL repository is enabled, install Redis using the package manager:

    bash
  • sudo yum install redis
  • Start and Enable Redis:

    Start the Redis service and enable it to start on boot:

    bash
  • sudo systemctl start redis sudo systemctl enable redis
  • Configure Redis (Optional):

    By default, Redis is set up to listen on localhost (127.0.0.1) and is available only to local connections. If you want to change this behavior, you can edit the Redis configuration file:

    bash
  • sudo nano /etc/redis.conf

    Make the necessary changes and save the file.

  • Verify Redis Installation:

    You can verify if Redis is working properly by connecting to the Redis server:

    bash
  • redis-cli ping

    If Redis is running, it will return PONG.

  • Set Up CageFS for Redis:

    Now, you need to set up CageFS to include Redis. This allows users within CageFS to access and use Redis:

    • Open the CageFS configuration file for editing:

      bash
  • sudo nano /etc/cagefs/conf.d/redis.cfg
  • Add the path to the Redis binary (redis-server) to the configuration file:

    bash
    • # Redis /usr/bin/redis-server
    • Save the file and exit.

  • Rebuild CageFS:

    After making changes to the CageFS configuration, you need to rebuild CageFS for the changes to take effect:

    bash
  • cagefsctl --remount-all
  • Check Redis Accessibility from Within CageFS:

    Create a new CageFS user or use an existing one, then try connecting to the Redis server from within the CageFS environment:

    bash

 

  1. su - username redis-cli ping

    Replace username with the actual username you want to test.

Redis should now be installed and accessible within CageFS on your CloudLinux server. Remember to always proceed with caution when making changes to your server configuration, and ensure you have backups available before making significant modifications.
