Redis Install

taylor

I am looking at the documentation for setting up Redis for when we decide to cluster our UAT environment. From the documentation it states that Redis is not supported on Windows and we would need to download WSL2 and run Ubuntu from the machine. The documentation also states that running Redis on Windows is for development purposes. Is there a recommended OS to install Redis on? When we stand up the Redis server, should we run Linux or is it alright to run Ubuntu from a Windows machine?

WSL creates a virtualized Linux environment from Windows where you can run Redis from! If you would prefer to use Windows for the Redis server, you are more than welcome to. However, if you're going to use a dedicated Redis server, it might make more sense to just install a distribution of Linux rather than running it from a virtual environment on Windows.
