A Python-based easy to use command-line interface for interacting with Redis databases. It provides interactive way to navigate Redis DBs and view/manipulate particular keys.
Before running the script, you'll need to have Python 3 installed on your machine. Once you have Python, you can install the necessary packages with the following commands:
pip3 install redis
pip3 install termcolor
pip3 install chardet
pip3 install pycryptodomeYou might need to use sudo before each command if you're on a Unix-based system and you encounter permission issues.
When run for the first time, the script will prompt you to enter your Redis server details: hostname, port, password, and whether to use TLS. These credentials will be stored in a file named .rediscli in the same directory, encrypted using AES_256_CBC_SHA256.
Whenever you run the script afterwards, it will attempt to read the credentials from the .rediscli file. You'll be prompted to enter the passkey you used to encrypt the file.
After connecting to the Redis server, the script will list all populated databases and prompt you to select one. After selecting a database, it will list all keys in the database and prompt you to select a key.
You'll then be given options to perform various operations on the selected key:
- (G)et the value
- (S)et the value
- (D)elete the key
- (T)TL: Get the time-to-live
- (Y)pe: Get the type of value
- (Q)uit
Credentials are stored using AES-256-CBC encryption with SHA256 key derivation.
The script also supports connecting to Redis servers via TLS, which ensures that all data sent between the script and the server is encrypted.
- Add support for direct connection strings for common cloud providers;
- Add support for storing several connections in
.rediscli; - Add possibility to switch DBs/keys on the fly;
- Add test coverage;
- Add setup.py with more automated way of running the script;
- Refactor;
