SLV Install - Redis

Why Redis?

Redis is a battle-tested in-memory datastore that keeps latency in the single-digit milliseconds range, which makes it ideal for caching hot data and coordinating real-time workloads. Pairing slv install with Redis means you can spin up consistent, production-grade instances across every node with one command.

Highlights

Redis: https://redis.io/
Offers built-in replication, persistence, and clustering options so you can grow without redesigning your stack.
Delivers blazing-fast response times that protect your Solana services from avoidable bottlenecks.

Run the Installer

Trigger the Redis deployment by targeting the hosts that should run the service:

bash
$ slv install -i 1.1.1.1,
🚀 Installing software components...
? Select Software Component to Install (Redis)
❯ Redis
  TiDB (MySQL Cluster)
  Grafana
  Prometheus
  Node Exporter
  Kafka Cluster

Note: Replace 1.1.1.1 with the IP address of your own server.

Review the Details

slv prints the exact playbook and inventory information before running Ansible so you can validate the target and cancel if needed.

bash

Observe Ansible Execution

Once confirmed, slv launches Ansible to configure the service and its dependencies on each host.
