Redis socket

[youhosi]

I have a question, how to set up, so that nodebb can interact with the redis socket?

[julian]

Not sure we've ever tried that -- any particular reason why you want to use a unix socket and not port?

[youhosi]

@julian because sockets is fastes

[smartpunter]

redis.conf

port 0
unixsocket /sockets/redis.sock
unixsocketperm 777

nodebb config.json

"redis": {
  "port": "/sockets/redis.sock",
  "host": "",
  "database": 0
}

[youhosi]

@smartpunter for security set perm to unixsocketperm 775, not 777

[smartpunter]

@youhosi bad advice, as number of applications under different users may/will communicate with database
Yes, you might want to add all of them to the same group and set proper permissions etc... But those who are able to do this - will do, others can use 777 on file in directory unaccessible from outside.

[youhosi]

@smartpunter In that case, add them to the appropriate group: D

@youhosi said in Redis socket:

Faster, less overhead, more reliable. I agree. Although I would not recommend Redis here
