redis-dumpz
I'm not the original author of this code. This is just a fork from the original redis-dump package that had no activity in the past years (at the time this repo is created) so no credits to me, but for it's original author.
Dump redis database into redis commands or json with command line or node.js
Installation
Installing npm (node package manager)
$ curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh
Installing redis-dump
$ [sudo] npm install redis-dumpz -g
Note: If you are using redis-dumpz programatically you should not install it globally.
$ cd /path/to/your/project
$ [sudo] npm install redis-dumpz
Usage
There are two distinct ways to use redis-dumpz: through the command line interface, or by requiring the redis-dumpz module in your own code.
Using redis-dumpz from the command line
The usage options are simple:
$ redis-dumpz --help
Usage: redis-dumpz [OPTIONS]
-h <hostname> Server hostname (default: 127.0.0.1)
-p <port> Server port (default: 6379)
-a <auth> Server auth password (default: '')
-d <db> Database to be selected (default: 0)
-f <filter> Query filter (default: *)
--convert Convert from json to redis commands
--help Output this help and exit
--json Output result as json
--pretty Make pretty indented output (use with --json)
Examples:
redis-dumpz
redis-dumpz -p 6500
redis-dumpz -p 6500 -a password
redis-dumpz -f 'mydb:*' > mydb.dump.txt
redis-dumpz --json > mydb.json
The output is a valid list of redis commands.
That means the following will work:
redis-dumpz > dump.txt # Dump redis database
cat dump.txt | redis-cli # Import redis database from generated file
Example
Let's say we have created a brand new redis database and have got the data generated from these commands:
RPUSH mydb:numberlist one two three
SADD mydb:numberset one two three
ZADD mydb:sortednumberset 1000 one 2000 two 3000 three
HMSET mydb:article:4 title 'Hello World' id 4
SET mydb:numvisits 34
SET mydb:volatile 'nothing important'
EXPIRE mydb:volatile 3600
If we call redis-dumpz, the output will look like this:
$ redis-dumpz -f 'mydb:*'
DEL mydb:numberlist
RPUSH mydb:numberlist one two three
DEL mydb:numberset
SADD mydb:numberset three two one
DEL mydb:sortednumberset
ZADD mydb:sortednumberset 1000 one 2000 two 3000 three
DEL mydb:article:4
HMSET mydb:article:4 title 'Hello World' id 4
SET mydb:numvisits 34
DEL mydb:volatile
SET mydb:volatile 'nothing important'
EXPIRE mydb:volatile 3600
And with json output:
$ redis-dumpz -f 'mydb:*' --json
{"mydb:numberlist":{"type":"list","value":["one","two","three"]},"mydb:numberset":{"type":"set","value":["three","two","one"]},"mydb:sortednumberset":{"type":"zset","value":[[1000,"one"],[2000,"two"],[3000,"three"]]},"mydb:volatile":{"type":"string","value":"nothing important","ttl":3466},"mydb:article:4":{"type":"hash","value":{"title":"Hello World","id":"4"}},"mydb:numvisits":{"type":"string","value":"34"}}
$ redis-dumpz -f 'mydb:*' --json --pretty > mydb.json
The json maps all the informations from redis database in a handy way for other programming languages.
{
"mydb:numberlist": {
"type": "list",
"value": [
"one",
"two",
"three"
]
},
"mydb:numberset": {
"type": "set",
"value": [
"three",
"two",
"one"
]
},
"mydb:sortednumberset": {
"type": "zset",
"value": [
[
1000,
"one"
],
[
2000,
"two"
],
[
3000,
"three"
]
]
},
"mydb:volatile": {
"type": "string",
"value": "nothing important",
"ttl": 3466
},
"mydb:article:4": {
"type": "hash",
"value": {
"title": "Hello World",
"id": "4"
}
},
"mydb:numvisits": {
"type": "string",
"value": "34"
}
}
You can also convert json back to redis commands.
$ cat mydb.json | redis-dumpz --convert
DEL mydb:numberlist
RPUSH mydb:numberlist one two three
DEL mydb:numberset
SADD mydb:numberset three two one
DEL mydb:sortednumberset
ZADD mydb:sortednumberset 1000 one 2000 two 3000 three
DEL mydb:article:4
HMSET mydb:article:4 title 'Hello World' id 4
SET mydb:numvisits 34
DEL mydb:volatile
SET mydb:volatile 'nothing important'
EXPIRE mydb:volatile 3466
Then, import your data back to redis can be done in one line from either format:
$ cat mydb.json | redis-dumpz --convert | redis-cli # from json
$ cat dump.txt | redis-cli # from redis commands
Using redis-dumpz from node.js
You can also use redis-dumpz from inside your own node.js code.
var dump = require('redis-dumpz');
dump({
// These are default values, you can omit them
filter: '*',
port: 6379,
host: '127.0.0.1'
},
function(err, result){
// Do something with result
});
