grupogua there's not a shared instance running, but we do have Redis v5 installed via SCL which you can use to spin up your own instance like so:

1. Create a new "Nginx Proxy Port" application for your Redis app. Make a note of the app's name and port assignment. I'll use "redis_app" and "55555" for the name and port in the rest of this example.
2. Log on to your server via SSH as the app's shell user.
3. Run the following commands to download your initial redis.conf :
   

   cd ~/apps/redis_app
   wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/redis/redis/5.0.5/redis.conf

4. Edit ~/apps/redis_app/redis.conf to set the following values, replacing 55555 with your assigned port, shelluser with your app's shell user name, and redis_app with the name of your app:
   

   port 55555
   daemonize yes
   pidfile /home/shelluser/apps/redis_app/redis.pid
   logfile /home/shelluser/logs/apps/redis_app/redis.log

5. If you'd prefer to connect via a UNIX socket instead of a network port then adjust the Redis configuration as follows:
   

   port 0
   unixsocket /home/shelluser/apps/redis_app/redis.sock
   unixsocketperm 700

6. Start the app:
   

   scl enable rh-redis5 -- redis-server ~/apps/redis_app/redis.conf

You'll then be able to connect to Redis using 127.0.0.1 as the host and your assigned port as the port, or via your UNIX socket path.

To use redis-cli or other utilities prefix the command with scl enable rh-redis5 -- , for example to shut down Redis:

scl enable rh-redis5 -- redis-cli -h 127.0.0.1 -p 55555 shutdown

Hope this helps 🙂
