## usage
```shell
# create a redis service named lolipop
dokku redis:create lolipop
# you can also specify the image and image
# version to use for the service
# it *must* be compatible with the
# official redis image
export REDIS_IMAGE="redis"
export REDIS_IMAGE_VERSION="2.8.21"
# you can also specify custom environment
# variables to start the redis service
# in semi-colon separated forma
export REDIS_CUSTOM_ENV="USER=alpha;HOST=beta"
# create a redis service
dokku redis:create lolipop
# get connection information as follows
dokku redis:info lolipop
# a redis service can be linked to a
# container this will use native docker
# links via the docker-options plugin
# here we link it to our 'playground' app
# NOTE: this will restart your app
dokku redis:link lolipop playground
# the following environment variables will be set automatically by docker (not
# on the app itself, so they wont be listed when calling dokku config)
#
# DOKKU_REDIS_LOLIPOP_NAME=/lolipop/DATABASE
# DOKKU_REDIS_LOLIPOP_PORT=tcp://172.17.0.1:6379
# DOKKU_REDIS_LOLIPOP_PORT_6379_TCP=tcp://172.17.0.1:6379
# DOKKU_REDIS_LOLIPOP_PORT_6379_TCP_PROTO=tcp
# DOKKU_REDIS_LOLIPOP_PORT_6379_TCP_PORT=6379
# DOKKU_REDIS_LOLIPOP_PORT_6379_TCP_ADDR=172.17.0.1
#
# and the following will be set on the linked application by default
#
# REDIS_URL=redis://dokku-redis-lolipop:6379
#
# NOTE: the host exposed here only works internally in docker containers. If
# you want your container to be reachable from outside, you should use `expose`.
# another service can be linked to your app
dokku redis:link other_service playground
# since REDIS_URL is already in use, another environment variable will be
# generated automatically
#
# DOKKU_REDIS_BLUE_URL=redis://dokku-redis-other-service:6379
# you can then promote the new service to be the primary one
# NOTE: this will restart your app
dokku redis:promote other_service playground
# this will replace REDIS_URL with the url from other_service and generate
# another environment variable to hold the previous value if necessary.
# you could end up with the following for example:
#
# REDIS_URL=redis://dokku-redis-other-service:63790
# DOKKU_REDIS_BLUE_URL=redis://dokku-redis-other-service:6379
# DOKKU_REDIS_SILVER_URL=redis://dokku-redis-lolipop:6379/lolipop
# you can also unlink a redis service
# NOTE: this will restart your app and unset related environment variables
dokku redis:unlink lolipop playground
# you can tail logs for a particular service
dokku redis:logs lolipop
dokku redis:logs lolipop -t # to tail
# you can dump the database
dokku redis:export lolipop > lolipop.rdb
# you can import a dump
dokku redis:import lolipop < database.rdb
# you can clone an existing database to a new one
dokku redis:clone lolipop new_database
# finally, you can destroy the container
dokku redis:destroy lolipop
```
## Changing database adapter
It's possible to change the protocol for REDIS_URL by setting
the environment variable REDIS_DATABASE_SCHEME on the app:
```
dokku config:set playground REDIS_DATABASE_SCHEME=redis2
dokku redis:link lolipop playground
```
Will cause REDIS_URL to be set as
redis2://dokku-redis-lolipop:6379/lolipop
CAUTION: Changing REDIS_DATABASE_SCHEME after linking will cause dokku to
believe the redis is not linked when attempting to use `dokku redis:unlink`
or `dokku redis:promote`.
You should be able to fix this by
- Changing REDIS_URL manually to the new value.
OR
- Set REDIS_DATABASE_SCHEME back to its original setting
- Unlink the service
- Change REDIS_DATABASE_SCHEME to the desired setting
- Relink the service
