Step‑by‑Step Guide to Install and Configure CacheCloud for Redis Management

Before installing CacheCloud, prepare a fresh Linux machine by installing the required packages:

yum install gcc gcc-c++ vim-enhanced glibc make unzip openssl openssl-devel openssh-server openssh-clients -y

Next, install the runtime dependencies:

JDK 1.7

Maven 3

MySQL 5.6 (modify /etc/my.cnf to add innodb_file_per_table and start the service with service mysqld start)

Download the latest CacheCloud source package, unzip it under /root, and import the database schema:

cd /root

unzip cachecloud-master.zip

mysql -uroot -p111111

create database cachecloud;

use cachecloud;

source /root/cachecloud-master/script/cachecloud.sql;

grant all privileges on cachecloud.* to 'admin'@'localhost' identified by 'admin';

flush privileges;

Adjust the online configuration file

cachecloud-master/cachecloud-open-web/src/main/swap/online.properties

with the following values:

cachecloud.db.url = jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/cachecloud
cachecloud.db.user = admin
cachecloud.db.password = admin
cachecloud.maxPoolSize = 20
isClustered = true
isDebug = false
spring-file=classpath:spring/spring-online.xml
log_base=/opt/cachecloud-web/logs
web.port=8585
log.level=WARN

Build the project using Maven:

cd cachecloud-master

mvn clean compile install -Ponline

Create the deployment directory and copy the built artifacts:

mkdir /opt/cachecloud-web

cp cachecloud-master/cachecloud-open-web/target/cachecloud-open-web-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war /opt/cachecloud-web/

cp cachecloud-master/cachecloud-open-web/src/main/resources/cachecloud-web.conf /opt/cachecloud-web/cachecloud-open-web-1.0-SNAPSHOT.conf

cp cachecloud-master/script/start.sh /opt/cachecloud-web/

cp cachecloud-master/script/stop.sh /opt/cachecloud-web/

Start the service and verify that it listens on port 8585:

sh -x start.sh

netstat -antulp | grep :8585

Open a browser at http://<em>IP</em>:8585, log in with username admin and password admin.

Basic Usage After Installation

1. Add Machines

Configure SSH user and password in the system configuration page so CacheCloud can collect machine information.

In the Machine Management section, click “Add Machine” and fill in the host details.

2. Create a Redis Cluster

In CacheCloud, go to “Application Apply”, fill in the required information, and submit the request.

After approval, navigate to the workflow approval page, select the newly created appID (e.g., 10007), and proceed to deployment.

Choose the storage type (e.g., redis‑cluster) and start the deployment after format check.

After deployment, the cluster status page shows six nodes, confirming successful creation.

3. Import Existing Applications

To import an existing redis‑cluster, select “Import Application” in the backend, upload the configuration, and confirm the format check.

For redis‑sentinel, change the storage type to “redis‑sentinel”, fill in instance details, and follow the same import steps.

These steps complete the installation, configuration, and basic operation of CacheCloud for managing Redis standalone, sentinel, and cluster deployments.
