Redis

If you want to use Redis storage for the sccache cache, you need to set the SCCACHE_REDIS_ENDPOINT with the single-node redis URL. If you want to use a Redis cluster, set SCCACHE_REDIS_CLUSTER_ENDPOINTS instead of SCCACHE_REDIS_ENDPOINT with the comma-separated list of redis node URLs.

Redis endpoint URL format can be found in the OpenDAL source code. Some valid examples:

  • redis://127.0.0.1:6379 or tcp://127.0.0.1:6379 or 127.0.0.1:6379 - TCP-based Redis connection (non-secure)
  • rediss://@1.2.3.4:6379 - TLS-based Redis connection over TCP (secure)
  • unix:///tmp/redis.sock or redis+unix:///tmp/redis.sock - Unix socket-based Redis connection

Redis can be configured as a LRU (least recently used) cache with a fixed maximum cache size. Set maxmemory and maxmemory-policy according to the Redis documentation. The allkeys-lru policy which discards the least recently accessed or modified key fits well for the sccache use case.

Redis over TLS is supported. Use the rediss:// url scheme (note rediss vs redis). Append #insecure the url to disable hostname verification and accept self-signed certificates (dangerous!). Note that this also disables SNI.

If you want to authenticate to Redis, set SCCACHE_REDIS_USERNAME and SCCACHE_REDIS_PASSWORD to the username and password accordingly.

SCCACHE_REDIS_DB is the database number to use. Default is 0.

Set SCCACHE_REDIS_EXPIRATION in seconds if you don't want your cache to live forever. This will override the default behavior of redis.

SCCACHE_REDIS_TTL is a deprecated synonym for SCCACHE_REDIS_EXPIRATION.

Set SCCACHE_REDIS_KEY_PREFIX if you want to prefix all cache keys. This can be useful when sharing a Redis instance with another application or cache.

SCCACHE_REDIS is deprecated for security reasons, use SCCACHE_REDIS_ENDPOINT instead. See mozilla#2083 for details. If you really want to use SCCACHE_REDIS, you should URL in format redis://[[<username>]:<passwd>@]<hostname>[:port][/?db=<db>].

Deprecated API Examples

Use the local Redis instance with no password:

SCCACHE_REDIS=redis://localhost

Use the local Redis instance on port 6379 with password qwerty:

SCCACHE_REDIS=redis://:qwerty@localhost:6379

Use the 192.168.1.10 Redis instance on port 6380 with username alice, password qwerty123 and database 12 via TLS connection:

SCCACHE_REDIS=rediss://alice:qwerty123@192.168.1.10:6380/?db=12
