Redis Prerequisite

Co-browse release 9.0.00x.xx now supports Redis as the default database. If you are a new customer, you must set up Redis prior to installing Co-browse. If you are an existing customer, you can migrate to Redis as follows:

1. Open the setenv.bat/sh file (depending on OS). The default host/port is localhost/6380.
2. Locate -DCOBROWSE_APP_MODE=redis
3. Replace with -DCOBROWSE_APP_MODE=cassandra

Configuration and feature control Configuration options There will be new configuration options to connect to Redis.

[redis]

 host
 port
 + options for retention policy (exact names tbd during implementation)

Old customers migrating They will have to

set up Redis before updating Co-browse to new version, set new required Configuration options for Co-browse. Data is NOT migrated.

During the switch ongoing Co-browse sessions will be lost, as well as history data.

Retention policy will be aligned with Cassandra's.

Old customers NOT migrating Option to stay on C* is still on the table. To do that, customers will have to manually modify setenv.bat/sh file shipped with Co-browse, instruction will be provided.
