Setup Redis on Laravel project 💡

#productivity #redis #laravel #webdev

DECK has separate stacks for Laravel and Redis. So let's look at how we can set it up quickly.

First, choose a stack for Laravel

You can select either Nginx-PHP or apache-PHP or Laravel stack, add details like project name, PHP version, and select project path.
Hit save, and now you are done with the Laravel project setup. 🌟

Second, choose the Redis stack

Enter a project name and hit save.

Start the Redis stack and open the Actions & Insights panel and check the Redis Host and Port, now you are ready to add environment variables in your Laravel project .env file, like REDIS_HOST, REDIS_PASSWORD, SESSION_DRIVER.🎉

You can install Redis desktop manager [GUI client] like AnotherRedisDesktopManager to check session data, queues, etc. Just use Host and post from the "Connect using external applications" section.
So the moment of truth 🥳
