Configuring multiple master nodes
Can I use redis?
If so, how to access it?

Alas, I'm so sorry, but it's not officially supported.

But if you want to live a little dangerously, check out:

https://github.com/jhuckaby/pixl-server-storage#redis

This is the storage system that powers Cronicle under the hood, and it does technically support Redis. Just please note that Cronicle was never tested with a Redis storage backend, so there may be unforeseen issues.

If you want to try it, set up your Cronicle Storage configuration like this:

"Storage": {
	"engine": "Redis",
	"Redis": {
		"host": "127.0.0.1",
		"port": 6379,
		"keyPrefix": "cronicle",
		"keyTemplate": ""
	}
}

But you'll need to follow the other instructions in the linked docs, especially installing the ioredis NPM module, etc.

Once you have all that configured, run the setup to initialize Redis: https://github.com/jhuckaby/Cronicle/blob/master/docs/Setup.md#setup

OK, I roughly understand. I currently deploy a single master and multiple slaves. Now the master is down and the whole system is down. I am very upset.

We only officially support NFS (shared Filesystem), Amazon S3, or Couchbase, for multi-master setups. Please use Redis at your own risk.

Thank you for your answer. I will not use redis anymore. I will study NFS. Thank you.
