There are two available implementations: * ``RedisChannelLayer`` is the orignal layer, and implements channel and group handling itself. * ``RedisPubSubChannelLayer`` is newer and leverages Redis Pub/Sub for message dispatch. This layer is currently at *Beta* status, meaning it may be subject to breaking changes whilst it matures. Both layers support a single-server and sharded configurations. Installation ------------ .. code-block:: pip install channels-redis **Note:** Prior versions of this package were called ``asgi_redis`` and are still available under PyPI as that name if you need them for Channels 1.x projects. This package is for Channels 2 projects only. Usage ----- Set up the channel layer in your Django settings file like so: .. code-block:: python CHANNEL_LAYERS = { "default": { "BACKEND": "channels_redis.core.RedisChannelLayer", "CONFIG": { "hosts": [("localhost", 6379)], }, }, } Or, you can use the alternate implementation which uses Redis Pub/Sub: .. code-block:: python CHANNEL_LAYERS = { "default": { "BACKEND": "channels_redis.pubsub.RedisPubSubChannelLayer", "CONFIG": { "hosts": [("localhost", 6379)], }, }, } Possible options for ``CONFIG`` are listed below. ``hosts`` ~~~~~~~~~ The server(s) to connect to, as either URIs, ``(host, port)`` tuples, or dicts conforming to `create_connection `_. Defaults to ``['localhost', 6379]``. Pass multiple hosts to enable sharding, but note that changing the host list will lose some sharded data. Sentinel connections require dicts conforming to `create_sentinel `_ with an additional `master_name` key specifying the Sentinel master set. Plain Redis and Sentinel connections can be mixed and matched if sharding. If your server is listening on a UNIX domain socket, you can also use that to connect: ``["unix:///path/to/redis.sock"]``. This should be slightly faster than a loopback TCP connection. ``prefix`` ~~~~~~~~~~ Prefix to add to all Redis keys. Defaults to ``asgi:``. If you're running two or more entirely separate channel layers through the same Redis instance, make sure they have different prefixes. All servers talking to the same layer should have the same prefix, though. ``expiry`` ~~~~~~~~~~ Message expiry in seconds. Defaults to ``60``. You generally shouldn't need to change this, but you may want to turn it down if you have peaky traffic you wish to drop, or up if you have peaky traffic you want to backlog until you get to it. ``group_expiry`` ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Group expiry in seconds. Defaults to ``86400``. Channels will be removed from the group after this amount of time; it's recommended you reduce it for a healthier system that encourages disconnections. This value should not be lower than the relevant timeouts in the interface server (e.g. the ``--websocket_timeout`` to `daphne `_). ``capacity`` ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Default channel capacity. Defaults to ``100``. Once a channel is at capacity, it will refuse more messages. How this affects different parts of the system varies; a HTTP server will refuse connections, for example, while Django sending a response will just wait until there's space. ``channel_capacity`` ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Per-channel capacity configuration. This lets you tweak the channel capacity based on the channel name, and supports both globbing and regular expressions. It should be a dict mapping channel name pattern to desired capacity; if the dict key is a string, it's intepreted as a glob, while if it's a compiled ``re`` object, it's treated as a regular expression. This example sets ``http.request`` to 200, all ``http.response!`` channels to 10, and all ``websocket.send!`` channels to 20: .. code-block:: python CHANNEL_LAYERS = { "default": { "BACKEND": "channels_redis.core.RedisChannelLayer", "CONFIG": { "hosts": [("localhost", 6379)], "channel_capacity": { "http.request": 200, "http.response!*": 10, re.compile(r"^websocket.send\!.+"): 20, }, }, }, } If you want to enforce a matching order, use an ``OrderedDict`` as the argument; channels will then be matched in the order the dict provides them. ``symmetric_encryption_keys`` ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pass this to enable the optional symmetric encryption mode of the backend. To use it, make sure you have the ``cryptography`` package installed, or specify the ``cryptography`` extra when you install ``channels_redis``:: pip install channels_redis[cryptography] ``symmetric_encryption_keys`` should be a list of strings, with each string being an encryption key. The first key is always used for encryption; all are considered for decryption, so you can rotate keys without downtime - just add a new key at the start and move the old one down, then remove the old one after the message expiry time has passed. Data is encrypted both on the wire and at rest in Redis, though we advise you also route your Redis connections over TLS for higher security; the Redis protocol is still unencrypted, and the channel and group key names could potentially contain metadata patterns of use to attackers. Keys **should have at least 32 bytes of entropy** - they are passed through the SHA256 hash function before being used as an encryption key. Any string will work, but the shorter the string, the easier the encryption is to break. If you're using Django, you may also wish to set this to your site's ``SECRET_KEY`` setting via the ``CHANNEL_LAYERS`` setting: .. code-block:: python CHANNEL_LAYERS = { "default": { "BACKEND": "channels_redis.core.RedisChannelLayer", "CONFIG": { "hosts": ["redis://:password@127.0.0.1:6379/0"], "symmetric_encryption_keys": [SECRET_KEY], }, }, } ``on_disconnect`` / ``on_reconnect`` ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The PubSub layer, which maintains long-running connections to Redis, can drop messages in the event of a network partition. To handle such situations the PubSub layer accepts optional arguments which will notify consumers of Redis disconnect/reconnect events. A common use-case is for consumers to ensure that they perform a full state re-sync to ensure that no messages have been missed. .. code-block:: python CHANNEL_LAYERS = { "default": { "BACKEND": "channels_redis.pubsub.RedisPubSubChannelLayer", "CONFIG": { "hosts": [...], "on_disconnect": "redis.disconnect", }, }, } And then in your channels consumer, you can implement the handler: .. code-block:: python async def redis_disconnect(self, *args): # Handle disconnect Dependencies ------------ Redis >= 5.0 is required for `channels_redis`. Python 3.7 or higher is required. Used commands ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your Redis server must support the following commands: * ``RedisChannelLayer`` uses ``BZPOPMIN``, ``DEL``, ``EVAL``, ``EXPIRE``, ``KEYS``, ``PIPELINE``, ``ZADD``, ``ZCOUNT``, ``ZPOPMIN``, ``ZRANGE``, ``ZREM``, ``ZREMRANGEBYSCORE`` * ``RedisPubSubChannelLayer`` uses ``PUBLISH``, ``SUBSCRIBE``, ``UNSUBSCRIBE`` Contributing ------------ Please refer to the `main Channels contributing docs `_.
