## Using Redis # Using Redis
It's possible to use Redis database test your apps during builds. As many applications depend on Redis as their key-value store, you will
eventually need it in order for your tests to run. Below you are guided how to
do this with the Docker and Shell executors of GitLab Runner.
### Use Redis with Docker executor ## Use Redis with Docker executor
If you are using our Docker integration you basically have everything already. If you are using our Docker integration you basically have everything set up
already.
1. Add this to your `.gitlab-ci.yml`: First, in your `.gitlab-ci.yml` add:
services: ```yaml
- redis services:
- redis:latest
```
2. Configure your application to use the database: Then you need to configure your application to use the Redis database, for
example:
Host: redis ```bash
Host: redis
```
3. You can also use any other available on [DockerHub](https://hub.docker.com/_/redis/). For example: `redis:2.6`. And that's it. Redis will now be available to be used within your testing
framework.
Example: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-examples/redis/blob/master/.gitlab-ci.yml If you want to use any other version of Redis, check the available versions
on [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/_/redis/).
### Use Redis with Shell executor ## Use Redis with Shell executor
It's possible to use Redis on manually configured servers that are using GitLab Runner with Shell executor. Redis can also be used on manually configured servers that are using GitLab
Runner with the Shell executor.
1. First install the Redis server: In your build machine install the Redis server:
sudo apt-get install redis-server ```bash
sudo apt-get install redis-server
```
2. Try to connect to the server: Verify that you can connect to the server with the `gitlab-runner` user:
# Try connecting the the Redis server ```bash
sudo -u gitlab-runner -H redis-cli # Try connecting the the Redis server
sudo -u gitlab-runner -H redis-cli
# Quit the session # Quit the session
127.0.0.1:6379> quit 127.0.0.1:6379> quit
```
4. Configure your application to use the database: Finally, configure your application to use the database, for example:
Host: localhost ```bash
Host: localhost
```
## Example project
We have set up an [Example Redis Project][redis-example-repo] for your convenience
that runs on [GitLab.com](https://gitlab.com) using our publicly available
[shared runners](../runners/README.md).
Want to hack on it? Simply fork it, commit and push your changes. Within a few
moments the changes will be picked by a public runner and the build will begin.
