Module: SessionHandlerRedis

[netcarver]

A proof-of-concept session handler module for PW that uses Redis as the session database.

You'll need access to a Redis server (IP address and Port) and you can configure the session prefix, the Redis DB that the sessions will be stored in and a time-to-live for the sessions.

Please let me know if you run into any issues with this module.

Here it is on Github.

Here it is in the modules repository.

Hi!

Thanks for this module!

Is it also possible to use it with some Redis SaaS Services like Heroku? This Service uses some authentication on their Redis Server...

E.g. redis://password:user@redis-instance.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:29029

I've made some changes to your module to use actual predis with authentication support.

Hi @Andreas Augustin

Thank you for the interest in this module - which is in need of an update. I've been contacted by a couple of other interested parties (see here), and I will be working on an update to this module soon.

Personally, I've always preferred using an SSH tunnel to connect to remote redis server instances, but I will certainly take a look at what you've done regarding native authentication suppport.

Best wishes,
Steve

Hi @netcarver

I run into a very strange bug with SessionHandlerRedis which I documented as github issue: https://github.com/netcarver/PW-SessionHandlerRedis/issues/5

[markus_blue_tomato]

okay this is not an bug in the module. this happens also with native redis php session store and also with memcached.

I have filed a PW bug: https://github.com/processwire/processwire-issues/issues/798
