Enable swap (Redis 3.0.5)

miran

Hi guys, I'm currently running NodeBB with a Redis 3.0.5 database and it keeps crashing. I've read up on maxmemory policies though I worry they will evict data I may want later (it is no longer persistent). Is there a way I can enable swap memory and just put things on disk when I don't need them anymore? vmemory is deprecated to my knowledge, is there anything else I can do?

Alternatively I'm willing to just move to mongoDB, I've managed to convert the RDB into a json file which I can then import into Mongo though mongo doesn't seem like it imports the data. Not sure how I would do that any other way.

Thanks in advance,
Miran

In my opinion (And 10 minutes of researching) it might be the best to switch to MongoDB, from what I've read Redis won't support Swap/Virtual Memory, it exists but its deprecated and so not recommended. You also might want to give there FAQ a good read.
