Compatibility#

Please note these rpm packages are built and available on Centos 7 & Centos 8. As such they should be compatible on redhat equivalent versions.

Setting up KeyDB RPM Packages#

Install as shown above. You can then either call binaries directly and pass in configuration parameters. Or start and stop the service.

Using Services#

$ sudo service keydb start
$ sudo service keydb stop
$ sudo service keydb status

This can be done similarly with keydb-sentinel

The main configuration file is located at /etc/keydb/keydb.conf

Other relevant files updated with keydb are:

  • /etc/logrotate.d/keydb
  • /lib/systemd/system/keydb.service
  • /lib/systemd/system/keydb-sentinel.service
  • /etc/keydb/sentinel.conf

Binaries installed are placed in /usr/bin/

Enabling Automatic Start on Boot#

By default the service is disabled and will be disabled if your machine is rebooted. If you would like to have KeyDB start on system boot:

$ sudo systemctl enable keydb

Uninstall#

$ sudo yum remove keydb
