Redis sessions, cache & queues

luceos

Braden that can be caused by running an outdated Flarum version, didn't you mention you still are on Flarum beta.15 or something?

Please upgrade as soon as possible!

luceos hello I like this extension but I don't want to install redis as per security reasons also I don't need cache as my speed is already good, but I still need queues so is their any alternative that works without redis. Also a suggestion that if the queues feature will be included built in in the core it will be more better as it's a must have feature.

luceos

Header_Footer yes: https://discuss.flarum.org/d/28151-database-queue-the-simplest-queue-even-for-shared-hosting

Hari you can use the exact same method the database queue is set up as a Cron.

See luceos

Hari

luceos instead of supervisor or systemd can we just use corn job?

i don't know this is the right question or not.

due to the limitations, I could not able to use supervisor for my custom php instance at cloudways.

Hari If it is possible to set up a cron on your hosting that allows you to run tasks without a timeout. Then you can use the method I mentioned earlier: rafaucau

This script checks if the queue process is running, if not, it starts it. This way, when the process crashes, cron will restart it.
I use it on my forum because I don't have the possibility to manage processes there.

I think that if you have such a possibility on your hosting, it is better to use Redis queue than the database queue because of better performance.

rafaucau does installing this extension install redis or you have to install redis separately

Hari

rafaucau you have replied to me earlier but at that moment i thought i don't need redies queue.. currently, i am using an extension it badly needs a queue so now re-visiting 😂. thanks for mentioning it again, that really helps my situation. i will keep you posted

Ffuser1 you need to install Redis first, once go through readme. in my case, i have enabled it at cloudways dashboard

Hari

rafaucau If you don't have full access on the server because you have shared hosting, for example, then you can still use Redis Queue.
What I did was to set up a cron for such a script:

#set -x

queue=`ps -aux | grep "flarum queue:work" | grep -v grep`
if [[ -z $queue ]]; then
while true :
	do
		[[ -z $queue ]] && { php flarum queue:work; }
	done
else
exit 0
fi

I've tried to update the same at the advanced corn job area but it is showing some error, I think we need to modify it for my need 😊 could you please help me? my forum is in the subdirectory

Hello, I noticed that when Redis is unavailable the forum fails to load even if only the queue feature is enabled. Is this the expected behaviour? I'm pretty sure it wasn't like that in the past, and I would expect this to happen only when enabling also the cache. Thanks.

luceos

matteocontrini I don't know how it worked before. Some logic of queues was moved to core so that might have had an impact too. Honestly I rather have Flarum fail sooner than later when dealing with queues.

qooba

rafaucau did you manage to use different database for each service on dhosting.pl

rafaucau

qooba Yes

return [
    (new Blomstra\Redis\Extend\Redis([
        'scheme' => 'unix',
        'path' => '/home/klient.dhosting.pl/*********/.redis/redis.sock',
        'port' => 0,
        'database' => 1
    ]))
    ->useDatabaseWith('cache', 0)
    ->useDatabaseWith('queue', 1)
    ->useDatabaseWith('session', 2)
];

luceos to be honest I don't expect caching and queues offloading to bring down an entire application 😅 for example, Redis Cache is resilient to that. Anyway, it's ok 🙂

qooba

rafaucau thanks a lot, works like charm, still have those issue with cache purge by ssh ?
Where I can reach you in PM ? have some questions about some features at your site...

rafaucau

qooba till have those issue with cache purge by ssh ?

Yes, this hosting has separate servers for SSH and HTTP and SSH does not have access to Redis.

qooba Where I can reach you in PM ? have some questions about some features at your site...

For example, on my forum. We have the fof/bybou extension installed there. But if you have questions about sharing some of our functionality I can't do that, because a lot of it has to remain unique to our forum.

qooba

I need to disable any other plugin to restore proper notify icon (ButtonGroup Dropdown dropdown NotificationsDropdown itemCount0) display using redis ?

when I disable redis cache this icon displays properly with numbers...

hepaly

qooba I have the same issue. The notification counter works well, after i disable redis.

Hari

how can i run this extension in plesk?

i have mentioned the extension name in the composer file but as Plesk asks to run Redis using a docker i don't know how to configure this for flarum Redis could you suggest the settings bitnami/redis

Geraldlzc

matteocontrini WorkingDirectory、ExecStart, I don't know how to configure these two parameters. Can you tell me.

matteocontrini

Geraldlzc what's your environment? Is it a hosting? Or a server where you installed PHP, etc.?
