Redis Server Clone

Overview

This project is a learning endeavor to create a clone of a Redis server. It aims to replicate the basic functionalities of Redis, focusing on key-value storage, replication, and basic command processing. This project is purely educational and leverages only the Rust standard library, making it an excellent resource for understanding the internals of a Redis server and the Rust programming language.

Note: This project is intended for learning purposes and should not be used in production environments.

Features

• Basic key-value storage
• Replication support to mimic master-replica dynamics
• Command processing for a subset of Redis commands
• Custom TCP server implementation
• Command-line interface for server configuration

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Rust (latest stable version recommended)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/florian-trehaut/redis-server-clone.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

cd redis-server

3. Build the project:

cargo build --release

Running the Server

To start the server with default configurations:

cargo run --release

To configure the server as a master or replica, use the command-line arguments:

cargo run --release -- [--port <port_of_master>]

Or:

cargo run --release -- --replicaof <hostname> <port_of_master> [--port <port_of_replica>]

Configuration

The server can be configured either as a master or a replica through command-line arguments. The configuration is managed in the src/server_config/server.rs file, which parses the arguments and sets up the server accordingly.
