Single Redis configuration for both local and production (cluster) environments

Why are you doing that? Local and Production redis data will, of course, will be different than the production ones

I think I wasn't clear.

I want a single Redis configuration in the database.php file so that when in local my local Redis instance is used, and when in production my Redis cluster is used.

I tried the following:

'redis' => [

        'client' => 'predis',

        'options' => [
            'cluster' => 'cluster' => env('REDIS_CLUSTER', false),
        ],

        'default' => [
            'host' => env('REDIS_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
            'password' => env('REDIS_PASSWORD', null),
            'port' => env('REDIS_PORT', 6379),
            'database' => 0,
        ],

        'clusters' => [
            'default' => [
                [
                    'host' => env('REDIS_HOST', 'localhost'),
                    'password' => env('REDIS_PASSWORD', null),
                    'port' => env('REDIS_PORT', 6379),
                    'database' => 0,
                ],
            ],
        ],

        'session' => [
            'host' => env('REDIS_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
            'password' => env('REDIS_PASSWORD', null),
            'port' => env('REDIS_PORT', 6379),
            'database' => 1,
        ],

    ],

Thinking that setting my production env variable for REDIS_CLUSTER to redis would mean that the production environment would use the cluster. But that didn't work. I'm confused as to how to achieve this.

@elijahpaul

In local .env, use the

APP_NAME=[localProjectName]

and iin your production .env use a different app name

APP_NAME=[ProjectName]

remove clusters from the database.php and it should me like

'redis' => [

        'client' => 'predis',

        'default' => [
            'host' => env('REDIS_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
            'password' => env('REDIS_PASSWORD', null),
            'port' => env('REDIS_PORT', 6379),
            'database' => 0,
        ],

    ],

and now use Redis based on the app name

Redis::zincrby($this->cacheKey(),1, json_encode([
            'name' => config('app.name'),
            'title' => $thread->title,
            'path' => $thread->path()
        ]));

Now in this way you are storing the different data on local and production and with the same code :)

@rameezisrar thanks for the update.

I tried your suggestion and receive the following error with the Redis cluster environment when running composer:

> @php artisan version:refresh

In Client.php line 370:

  MOVED 6469 10.42.2.97:6379


Script @php artisan version:refresh handling the post-autoload-dump event returned with error code 1

Doesn't removing the 'clusters' cause the above?

@elijahpaul your redis array should exactly be like above as I mentioned.

run

sudo composer dump-autoload

If you are storing the redis correctly with the app.name prefix, you won't be having any trouble

@rameezisrar where does this code section go?

Redis::zincrby($this->cacheKey(),1, json_encode([
            'name' => config('app.name'),
            'title' => $thread->title,
            'path' => $thread->path()
        ]));

Also, can I use the APP_ENV instead of the APP_NAME?

Appreciate the help.

@elijahpaul Yes, you can use APP_ENV instead of APP_NAME.

Redis::zincrby('any_key_name_for_data',1, json_encode([
            'name' => config('app.name'),
            'title' => $thread->title,
            'path' => $thread->path()
        ]));

this code is just an key and value that I am using to store my data on my local and production redis array

@ you can fetch your redis data like this

$data = array_map('json_decode', Redis::zrevrange('key_name', 0, 10)); // get 10 records

@rameezisrar Thank you.

Is there not a way to configure this in the config/database.php file without having to change my code?

i.e. use cluster configuration if APP_ENV=production and default configuration if APP_ENV=local?

Apologies if I've misunderstood (and thanks for your patience).

@elijahpaul If you want to use both of them then Wherever you are storing them and fetching them you need to double check. Just follow above and you will be good to go

@rameezisrar OK. I'm definitely really confused..

If I set the following in database.php:

'redis' => [

        'client' => 'predis',

        'options' => [
            'cluster' => 'redis',
        ],

        'clusters' => [
            'default' => [
                [
                    'host' => env('REDIS_HOST', 'localhost'),
                    'password' => env('REDIS_PASSWORD', null),
                    'port' => env('REDIS_PORT', 6379),
                    'database' => 0,
                ],
            ],
        ],

    ],
...

Then composer dump-autoload runs in my Redis cluster environment (APP_ENV=production) without error and without any change to my code:

bash-5.0# sudo composer dump-autoload

Why does the above config work without changing my code?

Not sure it's the best (right) way of achieving this, but I ended up placing the following logic at the top of my database.php file:

<?php

if (env('APP_ENV') == 'production') {
    $redis =  [
        'client' => 'predis',
        'options' => [
            'cluster' => 'redis',
        ],
        'clusters' => [
            'default' => [
                [
                    'host' => env('REDIS_HOST', 'localhost'),
                    'password' => env('REDIS_PASSWORD', null),
                    'port' => env('REDIS_PORT', 6379),
                    'database' => 0,
                ],
            ],
        ],
    ];
}
else {
    $redis = [
        'client' => 'predis',
        'default' => [
            'host' => env('REDIS_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
            'password' => env('REDIS_PASSWORD', null),
            'port' => env('REDIS_PORT', 6379),
            'database' => 0,
        ],
    ];
}

return [

....

And using the follwoing for my redis key:

    'redis' => $redis

So my production environment uses the Redis cluster configuration and my local uses the local config.

A bit late, but why don't you just use different array keys instead of an if/else condition?

e.g. redis (default for local and other environments) and redis_cluster for prod?

Then all you have to do is load the correct config from your .env file.

Redis::zincrby($this->cacheKey(),1, json_encode([ 'name' => config('app.name'), 'title' => $thread->title, 'path' => $thread->path() ]));

Where is the destination of this code? Where does it lead to?

@sidscorner This was what I wanted to do in the first place, but (if i remember correctly) I couldn't figure out how to configure redis as the cache driver along with redis_cluster as the prod key.

So I tried the following in my database.php:

'redis' => [
        'client' => 'predis',
        'default' => [
            'host' => env('REDIS_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
            'password' => env('REDIS_PASSWORD', null),
            'port' => env('REDIS_PORT', 6379),
            'database' => 0,
        ],
],

'redis_cluster' => [
        'client' => 'predis',
        'options' => [
            'cluster' => 'redis',
        ],
        'clusters' => [
            'default' => [
                [
                    'host' => env('REDIS_HOST', 'localhost'),
                    'password' => env('REDIS_PASSWORD', null),
                    'port' => env('REDIS_PORT', 6379),
                    'database' => 0,
                ],
            ],
        ],
    ];
...

And then had the following in my prod .env;

CACHE_DRIVER=redis_cluster

But redis_cluster wasn't recognized as a redis database connection. If you (or anyone else) know(s) what I'm missing/doing wrong I'd definitely appreciate the help. My solution works, but I'm not comfortable with it.
