How to set up Session Management in Redis?

Beezus · June 30, 2019, 10:46am

I am running two nextcloud 6.0.1 servers. Both are running apache listening on port 80, with HAProxy infront of them with SSL termination.

Current I am using redis for memcaching/file locking, however i would also like to set up redis for session management as well.

It is mentioned in the Deployment Recommendations for Large Enterprises but there seems to be no real info out there on how to accomplish this.

I haven’t seen an option for the config/config.php.

github.com

nextcloud/server/blob/master/config/config.sample.php

<?php

/**
 * This configuration file is only provided to document the different
 * configuration options and their usage.
 *
 * DO NOT COMPLETELY BASE YOUR CONFIGURATION FILE ON THIS SAMPLE. THIS MAY BREAK
 * YOUR INSTANCE. Instead, manually copy configuration switches that you
 * consider important for your instance to your working ``config.php``, and
 * apply configuration options that are pertinent for your instance.
 *
 * This file is used to generate the configuration documentation.
 * Please consider following requirements of the current parser:
 *  * all comments need to start with `/**` and end with ` *\/` - each on their
 *    own line
 *  * add a `@see CONFIG_INDEX` to copy a previously described config option
 *    also to this line
 *  * everything between the ` *\/` and the next `/**` will be treated as the
 *    config option
 *  * use RST syntax

Perhaps you just have to configure it in php, not sure if Nextcloud does it’s own thing:

Either you are expert and you know or you are a big company and you can afford their service Of course it’s open source and you can share your findings and others can help you.

I was able to set this up, however it did not fix my problem that i was attempting to diagnose with this
