redis-go

A lite version of the Redis server written in Go with support for commands from the first version of Redis.

If you have Go installed and set up:

Run:

go install

Usage:

Start the server and listen for client connections:

redis-go

Connect to the server from any Redis client of your choice:

You can use the following guide from Redis to install redis-cli without installing the server.

Too long to read? Just run:

npm install -g redis-cli

To start the CLI client and connect to the server, make sure the server is still running, open a new terminal and run:

rdcli

Pass commands through the CLI client and get responses.

Available commands

PING, ECHO, INFO, SET GET, EXISTS, DEL, INCR, DECR, LPUSH, RPUSH, LRANGE

Available expiry options

EX, EXAT, PX, PXAT

If you don't have Go installed, just use Docker:

Build Docker image:

docker build --tag redis-go . 

Run image in a container:

docker run -p 6379:6379 redis-go 

The server should be up and running.

Next, Install the redis client using the guide above and follow the subsequent steps.
