Instructions for getting a redis server running on EC2

Note: it would be most cost effective to use DynamoDB on AWS but this method is easier to debug and not very expensive for non production purposes.

The instructions for getting Redis to work are as follows:

  1. From a fresh Ubuntu EC2 instance (I use nano) run sudo apt-get install redis-server
  2. Allow all inbound tcp traffic via the instance's security group via the management console.
  3. Open /etc/redis/redis.conf with root and change bind 127.0.0.1 to bind 0.0.0.0
  4. Restart the server with sudo service redis-server restart
  5. Test that it is working. redis-cli -h XXXX ping should return PONG where XXXX is the public DNS for your instance.
