What benefit does redis bring to the table for the typical SMF forum?

[Arantor]

So caching in general is about reducing server load.

Different cache systems handle the load differently, file based vs memcache vs Redis vs other options.

That said if you're not on a VPS you almost certainly don't have access to a Redis instance to have it store the data for you...

Any chance of it being compatible with 2.13 or 2.14?

[Diego Andrés]

Did you have issues with it?
Should probably work fine, it's using hooks.

[PrimalPrime]

No, I'm kind of coward with this stuff. Even to try it on the test site will scare me to death, even with your seeming assurance. I'll probably work up the guts though. Thank you.

So, no go. After install,the option for redis doesn't appear.

Please make sure the Hook is activated, you can find the activated hooks under the hooks section in ACP.

Hi, thank you for the assistance. There are two entries and both are listed as active but still the redis option doesn't appear in the caching options. Thank you

Unfortunately I confirm... SMF 2.1.4 and there is no option to activate Redis
Thanks

EDIT: Sorry, I see now that the option is visible only if a Redis server is available.

There is a way to use a socket connection instead TCP?
