Zentropy Laravel is a simple and powerful Laravel wrapper for MailMug's Zentropy PHP client — a high-performance Redis alternative. Easily store, retrieve, and manage key-value data using TCP or Unix socket connections directly from your Laravel applications.

Zentropy Server

Features

✅ Full Laravel 10, 11, 12 support
✅ Facade access for clean and readable syntax
✅ Supports TCP connections with optional authentication
✅ Supports Unix socket connections (no authentication required)
✅ Common key-value operations: set, get, delete, exists, ping
✅ Easily configurable via published zentropy.php config
✅ Lightweight and high-performance alternative to Redis

Installation

Install via Composer:

composer require mailmug/zentropy-laravel

Publish Config and Service Provider

To publish the configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="MailMug\ZentropyLaravel\ZentropyWrapperServiceProvider" --tag="config"

This will create config/zentropy.php where you can configure host, port, password, and Unix socket.

Add to .env

ZENTROPY_HOST=127.0.0.1
ZENTROPY_PORT=6383
ZENTROPY_PASSWORD=null
ZENTROPY_UNIX_SOCKET=null

ZENTROPY_HOST – the host of your Zentropy server (default 127.0.0.1)
ZENTROPY_PORT – TCP port of your server (default 6383)
ZENTROPY_PASSWORD – optional password for TCP
ZENTROPY_UNIX_SOCKET – optional Unix socket path

Usage

use MailMug\ZentropyLaravel\Facades\Zentropy;

// Set a value
Zentropy::set('foo', 'bar');

// Get a value
$value = Zentropy::get('foo');

// Check if a key exists
$exists = Zentropy::exists('foo');

// Delete a key
Zentropy::delete('foo');

// Ping the server
$ping = Zentropy::ping();
