Appendix A. Finding Help

Should you find yourself in need of help with Redis or having problems, questions, or doubts, there are several ways of reaching out for help and the Redis community is very friendly and helpful.

  • http://redis.io

    This is the Redis official site. There you’ll be able to find the latest documentation, command reference, articles, tutorials, downloads, and everything Redis-related.

    The site itself and the documentation it contains are GitHub projects. Should you find any omissions or bugs, please contribute to this community effort.

  • Mailing List

    The Redis Mailing List is very active, and with more than 1500 members you’re bound to find someone that can help you. If you have questions that the documentation can’t answer or need some tips on how to solve a specific problem, try searching or emailing the list.

    Given the volume of email messages that the list gets everyday, it’s without doubt one of the best places to find information on Redis. Start by searching the existing topics.

  • IRC Channel

    If you prefer to use IRC, you can also try the #redis IRC channel on Freenode.

  • StackOverflow

    StackOverflow is a Q&A site oriented towards programming issues. While the Redis mailing list is probably the best option for Redis related questions, if you’re a StackOverflow user you can use the “redis” tag when posting.
