How to install Redis on Synology NAS (Container Manager)

Hello everyone! 👋

I run a small set of containers on my NAS at Home to monitor different weather and run automations. Because of this I wanted to install Redis on my NAS as well.

Redis is a key value database that has a lot of extra modules such as:

• Redis Search: A query and indexing engine for Redis, providing secondary indexing, full-text search, vector similarity search and aggregations.

• Redis JSON: A NO-SQL Document Database

• Redis Graph: A graph database.

• Redis TimeSeries: A time series database.

• Redis Bloom: Bloom and Cuckoo filters implementation.

• Redis Streams: An append only Log

These functionalities save me a lot of time and improve my software running inside my home. Redis is also a simple service to deploy and maintain.

So I made a quick tutorial on how to install Redis on a Synology NAS using the Container Manager.
