Redis is an open-source, in-memory data structure store that is often used as a cache or message broker. It’s a great way to speed up your website and improve its performance. If you’re using WHM/cPanel on an AlmaLinux 8 server, you can easily install and enable Redis by following these steps:
- Connect to your server via SSH.
- Install the Redis software by running the following command:
yum install redis
- Start the Redis service by running the following command:
systemctl start redis
- Enable Redis to start automatically at boot time by running the following command:
systemctl enable redis
- Check that Redis is running properly by running the following command:
redis-cli ping
You should see the response “PONG”, which indicates that Redis is up and running.
- Next, you’ll need to configure Redis to work with cPanel. To do this, you’ll need to edit the file /var/cpanel/cpanel.config. Add the following line to the end of the file:
varnish_enable=1
Save the file and exit the editor.
- Restart the cPanel service by running the following command:
systemctl restart cpanel.service
- Finally, you’ll need to enable Redis caching in your cPanel account. To do this, log in to cPanel and navigate to the “Redis” section. Click the “Enable” button to enable Redis caching.
That’s it! You’ve successfully installed and enabled Redis on your WHM/cPanel AlmaLinux 8 server. Redis can now be used as a cache for your website, which can greatly improve its performance.
