Redbird

Redbird is part of the thoughtbot Elixir family of projects.

Redbird is a Redis session adapter for Plug.Session. It works great for Phoenix!

Installation

Add Redbird to your application and dependency list.

  def deps do
    [
      {:redbird, "~> 0.7.1"},
    ]
  end

Configure Plug

plug Plug.Session,
  store: :redis,
  key: "_app_key",
  expiration_in_seconds: 3000 # Optional - default is 30 days

Configure Redbird

All redbird created keys are automatically namespaced with redbird_session by default. If you'd like to set your own custom, per app, configuration you can set that in the config.

config :redbird, key_namespace: "my_app_"

Configure Redix

Redbird uses Redix to communicate with Redis. You can pass configuration options as redis_options:

config :redbird,
  redis_options: [
    host: System.get_env("REDIS_HOST"),
    port: System.get_env("REDIS_PORT"),
    password: System.get_env("REDIS_PASSWORD"),
    ssl: true
  ]

For a full list of configuration options, please see Redix's connection options.

Mix Tasks

This will give you access to the mix task mix redbird.delete_all_sessions, for clearing all Redbird created user sessions from Redis. If you have not set up a per app key_namespace in the config this will clear ALL Redbird sessions on your server. Otherwise it will only clear the sessions created by the specific app you're running it in.
