Is this project dead ? #596

Open bpetersen1 opened 6 years ago

I was looking into using redis with our system but noticed that this project has not been active for the past 2 years.

Is this still supported ?

tporadowski commented 6 years ago

Hi @bpetersen1

The same happened to me last year, so I created my fork of this repo that is now updated to Redis 4.0.2 (I merged 3.2.100 from this repo with Redis 4.0.2). It's still to be considered as "alpha", but you can give it a try:

Is there a reason why an unofficial Redis port would be used, when you can run Redis on a [free] Linux distro?

See option 1 and 2 listed here if you have Windows 10 and want to run it locally. For production, it's recommended to run it on a Linux server.

The great thing is that it is open source so porting and compiling it to run on other platforms such as Windows is possible. Being able to run it on your preferred OS can help with performance as well as reduce the required footprint of your infrastructure. It also means you don't need to support multiple OSes or additional systems such as Docker. I am really surprised that Redis isn't supported for Windows since the port is available.

Hi @bpetersen1 @fpdavis, this repository hasn't been updated in almost 3 years. But finally there is a new software that provides Redis compatibility on Windows, and is currently up-to-date with the Redis 5 API. See https://github.com/MicrosoftArchive/redis/issues/620.
