Building Redis from Source on Linux Systems

Windows Development Environment Setup

For Windows-based development, refer to external documentation for detailed MSYS2 configuration. Begin by downloading and installing MSYS2 from the official website, then install required compilation dependencies:

pacman -S gcc make pkg-config

If encountering compiler errors related to undefined types like 'Dl_info', modify the system header file at D:/msys64/usr/include/dlfcn.h by removing conflicting declarations.

Navigate to your Redis source directory and execute the build process:

cd /e/env/redis-7.4.1
make PREFIX=/e/env/redis-7.4.1/bin install

Linux Compilation Proces

Retrieve the Redis source package and extract it:

cd /ycx
wget http://download.redis.io/releases/redis-7.4.1.tar.gz
tar zxvf redis-7.4.1.tar.gz

Create the target installation directory and compile:

cd redis-7.4.1
mkdir /ycx/data/redis
make PREFIX=/ycx/data/redis install

Adjust system memory allocasion settings:

echo "vm.overcommit_memory = 1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
sysctl vm.overcommit_memory=1

Server Configuration

Edit the primary configuration file located at /ycx/data/redis/redis.conf:

bind 0.0.0.0
port 6378
requirepass 123456
daemonize yes
maxclients 20000
appendonly no
save ""
protected-mode no

Service Management

To start the Redis server:

cd /ycx/data/redis/bin/
./redis-server /ycx/data/redis/redis.conf
systemctl start redis-server
systemctl restart redis-server

To gracefully shutdown the service:

cd /ycx/data/redis/bin/
./redis-cli -h 127.0.0.1 -p 6379
> auth 123456
> shutdown
> exit

Performance Monitoring Settnigs

Enable slow query logging with custom thresholds:

slowlog-log-slow-queries yes
slowlog-max-len 200
slowlog-threshold-microseconds 20000

Master-Slave Replication Setup

Master node configuration:

bind 0.0.0.0
port 6379
requirepass 123456
daemonize yes
maxclients 20000
appendonly no
save ""
protected-mode no
repl-diskless-sync no

Slave node configuration:

bind 0.0.0.0
port 6379
requirepass 123456
masterauth 123456
appendonly no
save ""
protected-mode no
replicaof 192.168.0.100 6379
replica-read-only yes
