FriendsOfFlarum Redis sessions, cache & queues

xasharma I would assume that if you want updates then yes. Just a guess and I'm not 100% sure.

luceos

xasharma yes moving the Blomstra package, and other extensions, to the friends of flarum makes it easier to maintain them in a collaborative way. The old packages have been marked abandoned and won't receive updates.

luceos Please guide me, am I doing correct ? ---

I stopped the old redis sessions, cache and queues by - sudo systemctl stop flarum-queue command And then installed this redis extension.

But the extension is not showing on admin area.

Please guide me, I was using the old redis, Now please tell me how I can shift to this and what I have to do.

luceos

xasharma the extend.php needs to be updated in the root of your installation as the namespace of the extension changed.

luceos

This is the code in the extent.php ... Please tell me the correct code if It is not correct.

<?php

use Flarum\Extend;

return [
    (new Blomstra\Redis\Extend\Redis([
        'host' => '127.0.0.1',
        'password' => null,
        'port' => 6379,
        'database' => 1,
    ]))
    ->useDatabaseWith('cache', 1)
    ->useDatabaseWith('queue', 2)
    ->useDatabaseWith('session', 3)
];

clarkwinkelmann First i was using the old redis sessions, cache and queues

And I used this configuration to old redis to work - (Used form Here)

/etc/systemd/system/flarum-queue.service

[Unit]
Description=flarum-queue
After=network.target
StartLimitIntervalSec=0

[Service]
Type=simple
User=deploy
WorkingDirectory=/var/www/flarum
ExecStart=/usr/bin/php flarum queue:work
Restart=always
RestartSec=5

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then, once to start it

sudo systemctl start flarum-queue
sudo systemctl enable flarum-queue

And after seeing this new New FOF redis, I used this command to stop the redis - sudo systemctl start flarum-queue
But by using it, there is no nothing of users sign in and discussions.

I installed this new FOF Redis, so please tell me what I have to do, which files have to change, which files have to be deleted to use the new FOF redis

And should I have to disable old one and its configuration or just use that also? What to do with all things to use this New FOF redis ?

@luceos @clarkwinkelmann Please check and reply to this noob person.

xasharma

xasharma @luceos , Please update sir ... how to do it, Do I need to uninstall old redis completely and how to do it ... What do I need to do ?

Oshvam

What is the difference between this extension and GB Redis Setup if I am not using queues?

clarkwinkelmann

xasharma I don't really know what else to suggest, re-check everything:

Uninstall the old extension
Install the new extension
Update any namespace reference in extend.php
Stop the service
Try running the command via SSH so you can see the output, trigger something that will be processed in the queue
Look for any error in the command output, Flarum log file, PHP server log, server syslog

I have personally never used either the old or new extension, those are just general troubleshooting ideas.

luceos

xasharma Clark gave the exact steps, did you run into any troubles?
