A package that wraps redis functionality for Polaris.
The Polaris platform was created by Sensyne Health Ltd., and has now been made open-source. As a result, some of the instructions, setup and configuration will no longer be relevant to third party contributors. For example, some of the libraries used may not be publicly available, or docker images may not be accessible externally. In addition, CICD pipelines may no longer function.
For now, Sensyne Health Ltd. and its employees are the maintainers of this repository.
Assuming you are set up:
make install
To run linters and test:
make test
To use dhos-redis in your project, you'll need the following env vars:
- REDIS_HOST - the host for the redis connection (e.g.
localhost) - REDIS_PORT - the port number for the redis connection (e.g.
6379) - REDIS_PASSWORD - the password for the redis instance
- (Optional) REDIS_TIMEOUT - the timeout for the redis connection in seconds (defaults to
2)
Then you can set and get at will (no initiation required):
import dhosredis
dhosredis.set_value(key="KEY", value="VALUE")
print(dhosredis.get_value("KEY")) # ==> "VALUE"Redis is designed to be used as a cache, rather than a source of truth.
If dhosredis cannot connect to the specified redis instance, it will not raise an error.
It will fail silently in the case of set_value, and will return the default value you specify (or None) in the case of get_value.
You can deploy via a merge to master. This will require a version bump in setup.py, and appropriate release notes in RELEASES.md.
