Redis and Joomla 4

[adrian_vg]

Hi all,

Not sure how this works in Joomla 4, but Joomla 3 had a GUI of sorts in Global configuration for Redis IIRC.

Can Joomla 4 use Redis or am I constrained to Joomla's builtin cache systems for pages etc?

Thanks for any insights.

This should work:

1.) Log in to your Joomla site as the administrator.
2.) In the left sidebar, click System.
3.) Under Setup, click Global Configuration.
4.) Click the System tab.
5.) In the Session section, in the Session Handler list box, select Redis.
6.) Configure the Redis connection settings:

- If you have a Managed VPS or Dedicated Server, confirm the Redis Server Host/Sock text box is set to localhost, and confirm the Redis Server Port text box is set to 6379.

- If you have a Turbo shared or reseller account, in the Redis Server Host/Sock text box, type /home/username/.redis/redis.sock, where username represents your account username.

7.) Click Save & Close. Redis is now enabled for Joomla.

Hello!

Step 5, I only have database and filesystem visible there.

Will Joomla 4 automagically sense if I have Redis installed on my web server, and present a Redis choice in step 5?

I know this is an old thread, however I was looking for a way to further enhance the performance of my Joomla 4.4 site and I found this page which explains quite well how to configure Redis for Joomla 4

I haven't tried it yet, I don't even know if there is a PHP extension for Redis to enable, however as soon as I've tested it I'll update this post

Cool, thanks!
Still don't have a Redis-choice in cache handler-field.
I kinda' gave up on Redis a while ago.
My website isn't that big or trafficked, so Redis or not isn't crucial in any way.
I might look into Redis again, later. It'd feel better. :-)
