⚡️ Redis Setup

A Flarum extension.

Makes it easy to enable/disable Redis features:

• Cache
• Queue
• Sessions

If you are using a local redis setup, you will likely be able to simply use the defaults provided. Any of these can be overridden using environment variables as follows:

REDIS_HOST='127.0.0.1 # Optional, else uses default
REDIS_PORT=6379 # Optional, else uses default
REDIS_PASSWORD=null # Optional, otherwise null
REDIS_DATABASE_CACHE=1 # Optional, else uses default
REDIS_DATABASE_QUEUE=2 # Optional, else uses default
REDIS_DATABASE_SESSION=3 # Optional, else uses default
REDIS_PREFIX='flarum_' # Optional, else uses default

📥 Installation

composer require glowingblue/redis-setup

♻ Updating

composer update glowingblue/redis-setup
php flarum cache:clear

Compatibility with fof/redis

This extension depends on fof/redis and deliberately disables the settings service that fof/redis ≥ 1.1 provides.

fof/redis's settings service replaces Flarum's SettingsRepositoryInterface with a Redis-backed caching layer. However, this extension reads settings (e.g. which Redis services to enable) during its own boot sequence — before Redis is fully wired into the container. Enabling the Redis settings cache here would create a circular dependency: configuring Redis requires reading settings, but reading settings requires Redis.

The settings service from fof/redis is therefore always disabled in this extension's extender. If you want Redis-backed settings caching, configure fof/redis directly in your project's root extend.php instead of using this extension.
