Unsupported configuration options

Options that exist, but should not, may break without notice in future releases and won't receive any support whatsoever from our team:

Connections

Connecting over Unix socket

define( 'WP_REDIS_SCHEME', 'unix' );
define( 'WP_REDIS_PATH', '/var/run/redis.sock' );

Connecting over TCP+TLS

define( 'WP_REDIS_SCHEME', 'tls' );
define( 'WP_REDIS_HOST', 'master.ncit.ameaqx.use1.cache.amazonaws.com' );
define( 'WP_REDIS_PORT', 6379 );

Additional TLS/SSL stream connection options for connections can be defined using WP_REDIS_SSL_CONTEXT:

define( 'WP_REDIS_SSL_CONTEXT', [
    'verify_peer' => false,
    'verify_peer_name' => false,
]);

Connecting using ACL authentication

define( 'WP_REDIS_PASSWORD', [ 'username', 'password' ] );

Scaling

Redis Object Cache offers various replication, sharding, cluster and sentinel setups to users with advanced technical knowledge of Redis and PHP, that have consulted the Predis, PhpRedis or Relay documentation.

Relay

Relay is a next-generation cache that keeps a partial replica of Redis' dataset in PHP's memory for ridiculously fast lookups, especially when Redis Server is not on the same machine as WordPress.

define( 'WP_REDIS_CLIENT', 'relay' );

define( 'WP_REDIS_HOST', '127.0.0.1' );
define( 'WP_REDIS_PORT', 6379 );

// when using Relay, each WordPress installation
// MUST a dedicated Redis database and unique prefix
define( 'WP_REDIS_DATABASE', 0 );
define( 'WP_REDIS_PREFIX', 'db3:' );

// consume less memory
define( 'WP_REDIS_IGBINARY', true );

Replication

https://redis.io/docs/management/replication/

define( 'WP_REDIS_CLIENT', 'predis' );

define( 'WP_REDIS_SERVERS', [
    'tcp://127.0.0.1:6379?database=5&role=master',
    'tcp://127.0.0.2:6379?database=5&alias=replica-01',
] );

Sharding

This is a PhpRedis specific feature using RedisArray.

define( 'WP_REDIS_CLIENT', 'phpredis' );

define( 'WP_REDIS_SHARDS', [
    'tcp://127.0.0.1:6379?database=10&alias=shard-01',
    'tcp://127.0.0.2:6379?database=10&alias=shard-02',
    'tcp://127.0.0.3:6379?database=10&alias=shard-03',
] );

Redis Sentinel

https://redis.io/docs/management/sentinel/

define( 'WP_REDIS_CLIENT', 'predis' );

define( 'WP_REDIS_SENTINEL', 'my-sentinel' );
define( 'WP_REDIS_SERVERS', [
    'tcp://127.0.0.1:5380',
    'tcp://127.0.0.2:5381',
    'tcp://127.0.0.3:5382',
] );

Redis Cluster

https://redis.io/docs/management/scaling/

define( 'WP_REDIS_CLIENT', 'phpredis' );

define( 'WP_REDIS_CLUSTER', [
    'tcp://127.0.0.1:6379?alias=node-01',
    'tcp://127.0.0.2:6379?alias=node-02',
    'tcp://127.0.0.3:6379?alias=node-03',
] );
