Install and configure Redis, Supervisor and Worker for Faveo on Centos 7

Introduction

This document will list steps on how to install Redis for faveo.

We will install following dependencies in order to make Redis work:

• Redis
• PHP extension for Redis
• supervisor

Install Redis

sudo yum install redis -y

Install PHP extension

yum install -y php71w-pecl-redis.x86_64

Start Redis

systemctl start redis.service

If you’d like Redis to start on boot, you can enable it with the enable command:

systemctl enable redis

You can check Redis’s status by running the following:

systemctl status redis.service

Once you’ve confirmed that Redis is indeed running, test the setup with this command:

redis-cli ping

This should print PONG as the response. If this is the case, it means you now have Redis running on your server and we can begin configuring it to enhance its security.

Install and Configure Supervisor

yum install -y supervisor

If you’d like Redis to start on boot, you can enable it with the enable command:

systemctl enable supervisord

Start Supervisord

systemctl start supervisord

Copy paste the below content in supervisor configuration.

vi /etc/supervisord.conf

Change the Url according to your faveo configuration.
