Redli is a Go-based alternative to the official Redis-cli application. It's major feature is that it mimics the redis-cli command line argurments while also understanding rediss: protocols and supporting a --tls flag allowing it to connect to TLS/SSL secured Redis without the need for tunnels. It also has a number of flags and environment variables for passing server certificates over as files or base64 strings. Note, passing a certificate turns TLS on by default.
You can download the binary for your OS from the releases page. Un-tar the file, then chmod +x the binary and move it to your path.
You can also compile Redli with go using these steps (Go 1.8+ required):
go get -u github.com/IBM-Cloud/redligo install github.com/IBM-Cloud/redli
redli [<flags>] [<commands>...]
--help Show context-sensitive help (also try --help-long and --help-man).
--debug Enable debug mode.
--long Enable long prompt with host/port
-u, --uri=URI URI to connect to
-h, --host="127.0.0.1" Host to connect to
-p, --port=6379 Port to connect to
-a, --auth=AUTH Password to use when connecting
-n, --ndb=0 Redis database to access
--tls Enable TLS/SSL
--skipverify Insecure option to skip server certificate validation
--certfile=CERTFILE Self-signed certificate file for validation
--certb64=CERTB64 Self-signed certificate string as base64 for validation
--raw Produce raw output
--eval=EVAL Evaluate a Lua script file, follow with keys a , and args
Args:
[<commands>] Redis commands and values
URIURI to connect to. It follows the format of the provisional IANA spec for Redis URLs, but with the option to denote a TLS secured connection with the protocol rediss:.
