node-red-contrib-redis-storage

An implementation of the Node-RED Storage API using Redis.

This works particularly well if you want to host Node-RED on a Heroku instance, or any other provider that uses an ephemeral filesystem.

Usage

Install the npm package by running npm install node-red-contrib-redis-storage or npm install node-red-contrib-redis-storage --save to save it to your package.json file.

Then, add the following configuration option to your settings.js file:

redis: {
  host: your.redis.host,
  pass: your.redis.password,
  port: your.redis.port
},
storageModule: require("node-red-contrib-redis-storage")

If you're running in a non-local environment, configure the Redis URL by setting an environment variable: REDIS_URL.

Then, start Node-RED and all of your data will be persisted to Redis, rather than the filesystem.
