Redis Streams

To setup Redis Streams pubsub create a component of type . See this guide on how to create and apply a pubsub configuration.

Warning

The above example uses secrets as plain strings. It is recommended to use a secret store for the secrets as described here.

Dapr can use any Redis instance - containerized, running on your local dev machine, or a managed cloud service, provided the version of Redis is 5.0.0 or later.

• Azure

The Dapr CLI will automatically create and setup a Redis Streams instance for you. The Redis instance will be installed via Docker when you run dapr init, and the component file will be created in default directory. ($HOME/.dapr/components directory (Mac/Linux) or %USERPROFILE%\.dapr\components on Windows).

You can use to quickly create a Redis instance in our Kubernetes cluster. This approach requires Installing Helm.

2. Run kubectl get pods to see the Redis containers now running in your cluster.

3. Next, we’ll get our Redis password, which is slightly different depending on the OS we’re using:

   • Windows: Run kubectl get secret --namespace default redis -o jsonpath="{.data.redis-password}" > encoded.b64, which will create a file with your encoded password. Next, run certutil -decode encoded.b64 password.txt, which will put your redis password in a text file called password.txt. Copy the password and delete the two files.

   • Linux/MacOS: Run kubectl get secret --namespace default redis -o jsonpath="{.data.redis-password}" | base64 --decode and copy the outputted password.

Note

The Dapr CLI automatically deploys a local redis instance in self hosted mode as part of the dapr init command.
