Redis data persistence

Glitch Help

Sorry I pasted the wrong command, here is what actually worked!

echo bin >> /app/.gitignore
cd /tmp
wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz
tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz
cd redis-stable
nice make PREFIX=/app install

nice prevents high CPU usage warning on container.
The above creates a folder /app/bin with the redis binaries.
The /tmp folder will clean itself up on the next project restart.

I then created redis.conf

# https://redis.io/topics/config

bind 127.0.0.1

protected-mode yes

port 6379

pidfile /app/.data/var/run/redis_6379.pid

dbfilename dump.rdb
dir /app/.data/

# glitch has memory constraints
maxmemory 400000000
maxmemory-policy noeviction

appendonly yes

auto-aof-rewrite-percentage 100
auto-aof-rewrite-min-size 64mb

Start script in package.json

  "scripts": {
    "start": "/app/bin/redis-server /app/redis.conf & node server.js"
  },

The start script could be improved, for example only start redis if its not already running.
