Redis (REmote DIctionary Server)
https://redis.io/

1. What is Redis?

Redis (REmote DIctionary Server) is an open source, in-memory, NoSQL key/value store that is used primarily as an application cache or quick-response database.
Redis (REmote DIctionary Server) 是一个开源的内存数据库，遵守 BSD 协议，它提供了一个高性能的键值 (key-value) 存储系统，常用于缓存、消息队列、会话存储等应用场景。Redis 是一个开源的使用 ANSI C 语言编写、支持网络、可基于内存亦可持久化的日志型、Key-Value 数据库，并提供多种语言的 API。

Redis stores data in memory, rather than on a disk or solid-state drive (SSD), which helps deliver unparalleled speed, reliability, and performance.
Redis 将数据存储在内存中，而不是磁盘或固态硬盘 (SSD) 上，这有助于提供无与伦比的速度、可靠性和性能。

Redis 将数据存储在内存中，以提供快速的读写访问速度，并且能够通过异步的方式将数据持久化到磁盘上。

1.1. 基于内存的数据存储

Redis 是一个内存中的数据结构存储系统，意味着它使用计算机的主内存 (RAM) 来存储所有的数据。这种内存优先的设计使得 Redis 能够提供极高的性能，因为内存的数据访问速度远远超过了传统硬盘存储。

由于存储在内存中，Redis 能够以微秒级别的延迟对数据进行读写操作，这对于需要快速响应的应用来说至关重要，如缓存系统、实时分析平台和高频交易系统等。然而，内存资源相对有限且价格较高，因此 Redis 也提供了数据驱动的逐出策略和精细的内存管理功能，确保有效利用可用内存。

2. Install Redis on Linux

https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/oss_and_stack/install/archive/install-redis/

sudo apt update
sudo apt install redis-server

Note there are redis-server and redis packages in the Ubuntu repository. Both will install the same software, so you can use either and have the same outcome.

(base) yongqiang@yongqiang:~$ sudo apt update
(base) yongqiang@yongqiang:~$ sudo apt install redis-server

3. Starting and stopping Redis in the background

3.1. systemctl

You can start the Redis server as a background process using the systemctl command. This only applies to Ubuntu/Debian when installed using apt, and Red Hat/Rocky when installed using yum.

sudo systemctl start <redis-service-name> # redis or redis-server depending on platform

To stop the server, use:

sudo systemctl stop <redis-service-name> # redis or redis-server depending on platform

适用于 Linux 的 Windows 子系统 (WSL) 默认不启用 systemd，因此 sudo systemctl start redis-server 可能无效。

3.2. service

‌通过服务命令启动，并查看服务状态。

(base) yongqiang@yongqiang:~$ sudo service redis-server start
Starting redis-server: redis-server.
(base) yongqiang@yongqiang:~$
(base) yongqiang@yongqiang:~$ sudo service redis-server status* redis-server is running
(base) yongqiang@yongqiang:~$

‌通过服务命令关闭，并查看服务状态。

(base) yongqiang@yongqiang:~$ sudo service redis-server stop
Stopping redis-server: redis-server.
(base) yongqiang@yongqiang:~$
(base) yongqiang@yongqiang:~$ sudo service redis-server status* redis-server is not running
(base) yongqiang@yongqiang:~$

(base) yongqiang@yongqiang:~$ sudo service redis-server status* redis-server is running
(base) yongqiang@yongqiang:~$
(base) yongqiang@yongqiang:~$ ps aux | grep redis
redis      882  0.1  0.1  60924  6272 ?        Ssl  21:58   0:01 /usr/bin/redis-server 127.0.0.1:6379
yongqia+   897  0.0  0.0   8172  2304 pts/0    S+   22:08   0:00 grep --color=auto redis
(base) yongqiang@yongqiang:~$

(base) yongqiang@yongqiang:~$ redis-cli --version
redis-cli 5.0.7
(base) yongqiang@yongqiang:~$ sudo service redis-server stop
Stopping redis-server: redis-server.
(base) yongqiang@yongqiang:~$
(base) yongqiang@yongqiang:~$ ps aux | grep redis
yongqia+   910  0.0  0.0   8172  2432 pts/0    S+   22:11   0:00 grep --color=auto redis
(base) yongqiang@yongqiang:~$

4. Connect to Redis

Check the Redis command-line client version by entering the following to ensure it is configured properly:

redis-cli --version

(base) yongqiang@yongqiang:~$ redis-cli --version
redis-cli 5.0.7
(base) yongqiang@yongqiang:~$

Once Redis is running, you can test it by running redis-cli:

redis-cli

Test the connection with the ping command:

127.0.0.1:6379> ping
PONG

(base) yongqiang@yongqiang:~$ redis-cli
127.0.0.1:6379> ping
PONG
127.0.0.1:6379>

5. 退出 Redis 的命令行界面 (redis-cli)

使用 exit 命令：

(base) yongqiang@yongqiang:~$ redis-cli
127.0.0.1:6379> ping
PONG
127.0.0.1:6379> exit
(base) yongqiang@yongqiang:~$

使用 quit 命令：

(base) yongqiang@yongqiang:~$ redis-cli
127.0.0.1:6379> ping
PONG
127.0.0.1:6379> quit
(base) yongqiang@yongqiang:~$

6. redis-server 统计信息

(base) yongqiang@yongqiang:~$ redis-cli
127.0.0.1:6379> ping
PONG
