**Redis Configuration File (redis.conf)** A Redis configuration file is a text file that contains Redis configuration directives. It is used to specify the server's configuration, including the server address, port, maximum memory, and other parameters. **Key Concepts in the Configuration File:** * **Keywords:** Keywords are used to specify configuration settings. For example, `replicaof` specifies that a server should replicate data with another server. * **Arguments:** Arguments are used to specify values for keywords. For example, `replicaof 127.0.0.1 6380` specifies that a server should replicate data with another server at the IP address 127.0.0.1 and on the port 6380. * **Strings with Spaces:** Strings with spaces can be quoted using either single or double quotes. For example, the following are valid arguments: ``` requirepass \"hello world\" Single-quoted string can contain characters escaped by backslashes ``` **Using the Configuration File:** To use the configuration file, you can pass it to the `redis` command-line tool or set environment variables. For example: ``` redis server.conf ``` **Passing Arguments via Command Line:** You can also pass Redis configuration parameters using the `redis` command-line tool. For example: ``` redis -h 127.0.0.1:6380 server.conf ``` **On the Fly Configuration Change:** It is possible to reconfigure Redis on the fly without stopping and restarting the service. You can use the `CONFIG` commands to set or modify configuration settings. **Note:** The configuration file is loaded when the `redis` server starts. It is not affected by changes made to the server after it has started.

Overview of redis.conf, the Redis configuration file

Redis is able to start without a configuration file using a built-in default configuration, however this setup is only recommended for testing and development purposes.

The proper way to configure Redis is by providing a Redis configuration file, usually called redis.conf.

The redis.conf file contains a number of directives that have a very simple format:

keyword argument1 argument2 ... argumentN

This is an example of a configuration directive:

replicaof 127.0.0.1 6380

It is possible to provide strings containing spaces as arguments using (double or single) quotes, as in the following example:

requirepass "hello world"

Single-quoted string can contain characters escaped by backslashes, and double-quoted strings can additionally include any ASCII symbols encoded using backslashed hexadecimal notation "\xff".

The list of configuration directives, and their meaning and intended usage is available in the self documented example redis.conf shipped into the Redis distribution.

The self documented redis.conf for Redis 7.0.
The self documented redis.conf for Redis 6.2.
The self documented redis.conf for Redis 6.0.
The self documented redis.conf for Redis 5.0.
The self documented redis.conf for Redis 4.0.
The self documented redis.conf for Redis 3.2.
The self documented redis.conf for Redis 3.0.
The self documented redis.conf for Redis 2.8.
The self documented redis.conf for Redis 2.6.
The self documented redis.conf for Redis 2.4.

Passing arguments via the command line

You can also pass Redis configuration parameters using the command line directly. This is very useful for testing purposes. The following is an example that starts a new Redis instance using port 6380 as a replica of the instance running at 127.0.0.1 port 6379.

./redis-server --port 6380 --replicaof 127.0.0.1 6379

The format of the arguments passed via the command line is exactly the same as the one used in the redis.conf file, with the exception that the keyword is prefixed with --.

Note that internally this generates an in-memory temporary config file (possibly concatenating the config file passed by the user, if any) where arguments are translated into the format of redis.conf.

Changing Redis configuration while the server is running

It is possible to reconfigure Redis on the fly without stopping and restarting the service, or querying the current configuration programmatically using the special commands CONFIG SET and CONFIG GET.

Not all of the configuration directives are supported in this way, but most are supported as expected. Please refer to the CONFIG SET and CONFIG GET pages for more information.

Note that modifying the configuration on the fly has no effects on the redis.conf file so at the next restart of Redis the old configuration will be used instead.

Make sure to also modify the redis.conf file accordingly to the configuration you set using CONFIG SET. You can do it manually, or you can use CONFIG REWRITE, which will automatically scan your redis.conf file and update the fields which don't match the current configuration value. Fields non existing but set to the default value are not added. Comments inside your configuration file are retained.

Configuring Redis as a cache

If you plan to use Redis as a cache where every key will have an expire set, you may consider using the following configuration instead (assuming a max memory limit of 2 megabytes as an example):

maxmemory 2mb
maxmemory-policy allkeys-lru

In this configuration there is no need for the application to set a time to live for keys using the EXPIRE command (or equivalent) since all the keys will be evicted using an approximated LRU algorithm as long as we hit the 2 megabyte memory limit.

Basically, in this configuration Redis acts in a similar way to memcached. We have more extensive documentation about using Redis as an LRU cache here.
