Rediseen
Start a REST-like API service for your Redis database, without writing a single line of code.
- Allows clients to query records in Redis database via HTTP conveniently
- Allows you to specify which logical DB(s) to expose, and what key patterns to expose
- Expose results of Redis
INFO
command in a nice format, so you can use Rediseen
as a connector between your Redis DB and monitoring dashboard as well.
- Supports API Key authentication
(Inspired by sandman2; Built on shoulder of go-redis/redis
; CLI implemented with Cobra)
Quick Start
Let's assume that your Redis database URI is redis://:@localhost:6379
, and you want to expose keys with prefix key:
in logical database 0
.
Quick Start with go get
If you have Go (1.11+) installed, you can install Rediseen
easily by running
go get github.com/xd-deng/rediseen
If your GOPATH
is added to PATH
, you should be able to run command rediseen
now.
# Configuration
export REDISEEN_REDIS_URI="redis://:@localhost:6379"
export REDISEEN_DB_EXPOSED=0
export REDISEEN_KEY_PATTERN_EXPOSED="^key:([0-9a-z]+)"
# Start the service
rediseen start
Now you should be able to query against your Redis database, like http://localhost:8000/0
, http://localhost:8000/0/key:1
,
http://localhost:8000/info
or http://localhost:8000/info/server
(say you have keys key:1
(string) and key:2
(hash) set in your logical DB 0
). Sample responses follow below.
GET /0
{
"count": 2,
"total": 2,
"keys": [
{
"key": "key:1",
"type": "string"
},
{
"key": "key:2",
"type": "hash"
}
]
}
GET /0/key:1
{
"type": "string",
"value": "rediseen"
}
GET /info
{
Server: {
redis_version: "5.0.6",
...
},
Clients: {
...
},
...
}
GET /info/server
{
Server: {
redis_version: "5.0.6",
...
}
}
For more details, please refer to the rest of the documentation.
Quick Start with Homebrew
# Install using Homebrew
brew install XD-DENG/rediseen/rediseen
Then you can configure and start the service as described above.
Quick Start with Docker
docker run \
-e REDISEEN_REDIS_URI="redis://:@[YOUR REDIS HOST]:6379" \
-e REDISEEN_DB_EXPOSED=0 \
-e REDISEEN_KEY_PATTERN_EXPOSED="^key:([0-9a-z]+)" \
-p 8000:8000 \
xddeng/rediseen:latest
Please note:
REDISEEN_REDIS_URI
above should be a specific host address. If you are running Redis database using Docker
too, you can consider using Docker's link
or network
feature to ensure connectivity between Rediseen and your Redis database
(refer to the complete example below).
- You can choose the image tag among:
latest
(the latest release version)
nightly
(the latest code in master branch)
unstable
(latest dev branch)
- release tags (like
2.2.0
. Check Docker Hub/xddeng/rediseen
for full list)
A complete example using Docker follows below
docker network create test-net
docker run -d --network=test-net --name=redis-server redis
docker run \
-d --network=test-net \
-e REDISEEN_REDIS_URI="redis://:@redis-server:6379" \
-e REDISEEN_DB_EXPOSED=0 \
-e REDISEEN_KEY_PATTERN_EXPOSED="^key:([0-9a-z]+)" \
-p 8000:8000 \
xddeng/rediseen:latest
curl -s http://localhost:8000/0
Result is like
{
"count": 0,
"total": 0,
"keys": null
}
Then you can execute
docker exec -i redis-server redis-cli set key:0 100
curl -s http://localhost:8000/0
and you can expect output below
{
"count": 1,
"total": 1,
"keys": [
{
"key": "key:0",
"type": "string"
}
]
}
