AWS redis-cli on EC2

aws-ec2-redis-cli.md

Setup redis-cli on AWS EC2

SSH into your EC2 instance. Run the following:

$ sudo yum install gcc This may return an "already installed" message. That's OK.

$ wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz && tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz && cd redis-stable && make

See: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonElastiCache/latest/UserGuide/GettingStarted.ConnectToCacheNode.Redis.html

Run the following commands line by line to install Redis and dependencies.

1. sudo yum -y install gcc make # install GCC compiler
2. cd /usr/local/src
3. sudo wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz
4. sudo tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz
5. sudo rm -f redis-stable.tar.gz
6. cd redis-stable
7. sudo yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
8. sudo make distclean
9. sudo make
10. sudo yum install -y tcl
11. sudo make test
12. sudo cp src/redis-server /usr/local/bin/
13. sudo cp src/redis-cli /usr/local/bin/
14. redis-server
15. redis-cli

faced this issue recently
Combining all solutions is what I shared with DevOps on the Ubuntu system.

sudo wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz
sudo tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz
cd redis-stable
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
sudo make BUILD_TLS=yes

./src/redis-cli -h <REDIS_HOST> --tls -p 6379

On Amazon Linux 2 this worked for me:

yum -y install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
yum update -y
yum install -y redis

On Amazon Linux you can use this:

$ sudo yum install gcc openssl-devel
$ wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz && tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz && cd redis-stable && make BUILD_TLS=yes

and then connect using this:

$ src/redis-cli -h conn-string-elasticache.amazonaws.com -p 6379 --tls

// If you have auth
$ src/redis-cli -h conn-string-elasticache.amazonaws.com -p 6379 --tls -a password

Thanks! 🚀
