django-redis-sessions
Redis database backend for your sessions
Installation
- Run
pip install django-redis-sessionsor alternatively download the tarball and runpython setup.py install,
For Django < 1.4 run pip install django-redis-sessions==0.3
- Set
redis_sessions.sessionas your session engine, like so:
SESSION_ENGINE = 'redis_sessions.session'Available Settings
SESSION_REDIS = {
'host': 'localhost',
'port': 6379,
'db': 0,
'password': 'password',
'prefix': 'session',
'socket_timeout': 1,
'retry_on_timeout': False
}If you prefer domain socket connection, you can just add this line instead of HOST and PORT.
SESSION_REDIS = {
'unix_domain_socket_path': '/var/run/redis/redis.sock',
'db': 0,
'password': 'password',
'prefix': 'session',
'socket_timeout': 1,
'retry_on_timeout': False
}Redis Sentinel
SESSION_REDIS_SENTINEL_LIST = [(host, port), (host, port), (host, port)]
SESSION_REDIS_SENTINEL_MASTER_ALIAS = 'sentinel-master'Redis Pool (Horizontal partitioning)
Splits sessions between Redis instances based on the session key. You can configure the connection type for each Redis instance in the pool (host/port, unix socket, redis url).
SESSION_REDIS = {
'prefix': 'session',
'socket_timeout': 1
'retry_on_timeout': False,
'pool': [{
'host': 'localhost3',
'port': 6379,
'db': 0,
'password': None,
'unix_domain_socket_path': None,
'url': None,
'weight': 1
},
{
'host': 'localhost2',
'port': 6379,
'db': 0,
'password': None,
'unix_domain_socket_path': None,
'url': None,
'weight': 1
},
{
'host': 'localhost1',
'port': 6379,
'db': 0,
'password': None,
'unix_domain_socket_path': None,
'url': None,
'weight': 1
}]
