Input How to setup redis and use it as object-cache backend for WordPress

[waseem]

My bad, i had a Plugin named: Transient Cleaner , just disabled it and warning is gone.

I am getting following in docker :

[0m[1mWelcome to the Bitnami redis container[0m
[0mSubscribe to project updates by watching [1mhttps://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-redis[0m
[0mSubmit issues and feature requests at [1mhttps://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-redis/issues[0m

Error executing 'postInstallation': Files to substitute resolved to an empty list

how to resolve this error???

 

[virtubox]

there is object-cache.php in wp-content folder, i am using WP fastest Cache an auto-optimize.

There may have some incompatibilities between WP fastest Cache and Redis-Object-Cache, but do you use a plugin named Transient Cleaner ?
Because Transient Cleaner isn't compatible with an external object-cache.


Sorry I haven't seen there was new posts after this one.

But to answer to your question about the deployment of bitnami-docker-redis, are you trying to setup another VPS for redis ?

Hello @Jaber Al Nahian, you just have to click on the container name in Plesk and it will dispay the container logs and RAM usage :

@vitubox

really a good example, do you have an example how to use nginx with redis as cache (nginx.conf) and Plesk, without using php now is well?
or is redis cache with php the better solution?

thanks in advance

Hello,
Nginx-ee build include nginx_http_redis & redis2-nginx modules, so it's possible to use redis directly with Nginx instead of fastcgi_cache.
Inside a standard nginx vhost (without plesk) it will look like :

server { 
 
- - - 

location /redis-fetch {
    internal  ;
    set  $redis_key $args;
    redis_pass  redis;
}
location /redis-store {
    internal  ;
    set_unescape_uri $key $arg_key ;
    redis2_query  set $key $echo_request_body;
    redis2_query expire $key 14400;
    redis2_pass  redis;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
  set $key "nginx-cache:$scheme$request_method$host$request_uri";
  try_files $uri =404;

  srcache_fetch_skip $skip_cache;
  srcache_store_skip $skip_cache;

  srcache_response_cache_control off;

  set_escape_uri $escaped_key $key;

  srcache_fetch GET /redis-fetch $key;
  srcache_store PUT /redis-store key=$escaped_key;

  more_set_headers 'X-SRCache-Fetch-Status $srcache_fetch_status';
  more_set_headers 'X-SRCache-Store-Status $srcache_store_status';

  include fastcgi_params; 
  fastcgi_pass php72;
}

But with Plesk it will require to edit Plesk virtualhost templates. You can find more informations in the Plesk documentation : A WordPress website on a Plesk server shows "404 Not Found" on all pages except index.php, when running on FPM by nginx
I'm already working on a custom template with Nginx fastcgi_cache available on Github : VirtuBox/plesk-nginx-fascgi-cache-template
But it's not fully ready for production (cache is shared between all subscription, there is no isolation at the moment).

thanks @virtubox for this quick Demo

Did you maybe do a performance test with siege? I can not tell the difference on my test system (Wordpress+WooCommerce)

I did not try nginx with redis cache, I'm hoping for a real performance.
how can i test if nginx with redis is working properly?

thanks in advance

Hello, I have written a small tutorial to explain how to setup redis-server and use it as object cache backend for WordPress on a Plesk Onyx server.

To setup Redis, two solutions available : local install or inside a docker container

Solution 1) Local Installation of Redis-server ( debian 8 Jessie )

You can install redis-server easily with the package available on the dotdeb.org repository.
I have create a simple bash script to install redis :

bash <(wget --no-check-certificate -O - https://git.virtubox.net/virtubox/plesk-script/raw/master/redis-cache.sh)

But you can install redis manually, by adding the main repository to your sources.list

echo 'deb http://packages.dotdeb.org jessie all' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dotdeb.list
wget https://www.dotdeb.org/dotdeb.gpg
apt-key add dotdeb.gpg

And install redis-server :

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y
apt-get install redis-server -y

Then start the redis-server service :

service redis-server start

Solution 2) Run Redis inside a docker container

You can create your container from the Plesk docker manager :
I have used the bitnami/redis image, and the following settings :

You can also create your container directly from the command line :

docker run \
   -e REDIS_PASSWORD=redispassword \
   -v /var/redis:/bitnami \
   -p 6379:6379 \
   bitnami/redis:latest

Configure Redis-object-cache plugin in WordPress

Our redis-server is now running properly, so you can install the plugin redis-object-cache using the wordpress plugin manager. Before enabling object-cache, you have to add following line in your wp-config.php file :

define( 'WP_CACHE_KEY_SALT', 'yoursitename:' );

It will add a prefix to all cache keys stored in redis, and allow you to use object-cache for multiple wordpress instances on the same server.
If you have set a password to secure redis, you will also have to add the following line in your wp-config.php file :

define( 'WP_REDIS_PASSWORD', 'redispassword' );

Then, you can enable object-cache in the plugin settings page :

Feel free to tell me if you have any suggestion to improve my guide .

Hello @virtubox,

When I run the cmd, I have this error:
mkdir: cannot create directory '/bitnami/redis': Permission denied

Can you help ?
