File contents

Overview

redisctl is a unified CLI for managing Redis Cloud, Redis Enterprise, and direct Redis database connections. This skill covers installation, profile setup, and validation.

Installation

Choose one method:

# Homebrew (macOS/Linux)
brew install redis/homebrew-tap/redisctl

# Cargo (from source)
cargo install redisctl

# Docker
docker run --rm -it ghcr.io/redis/redisctl --help

Profile Setup

Profiles store connection credentials. Use the interactive wizard for guided setup:

redisctl profile init

Or create profiles directly:

Redis Cloud Profile

redisctl profile set cloud-prod \
  --type cloud \
  --api-key "$REDIS_CLOUD_API_KEY" \
  --api-secret "$REDIS_CLOUD_API_SECRET"

redisctl profile default-cloud cloud-prod

Redis Enterprise Profile

redisctl profile set ent-staging \
  --type enterprise \
  --url "https://cluster.internal:9443" \
  --username admin \
  --password "$RE_PASSWORD"

redisctl profile default-enterprise ent-staging

Direct Database Profile

redisctl profile set local-redis \
  --type database \
  --url "redis://localhost:6379"

redisctl profile default-database local-redis

Validation

After creating profiles, verify connectivity:

# List all profiles
redisctl profile list

# Show a specific profile
redisctl profile show cloud-prod

# Validate connectivity for all profiles
redisctl profile validate

Shell Completions

Generate completions for your shell:

# Bash
redisctl completions bash > ~/.bash_completion.d/redisctl

# Zsh
redisctl completions zsh > ~/.zfunc/_redisctl

# Fish
redisctl completions fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/redisctl.fish

Common Issues

Credential errors: Check that environment variables are set and profile type matches the command namespace (cloud profile for cloud commands, etc.)
Enterprise TLS errors: Use --insecure flag for self-signed certificates during setup
Config file location: Run redisctl profile path to find the config file
