How to disable persistence with redis?

Question

I was wondering how to disable presistence in redis. There is mention of the possibility of doing this here: http://redis.io/topics/persistence. I mean it in the exact same sens

Answer 1

As AOF (appendonly) is disabled by default, there is only one thing that is to be done for disabling persistence without redis service restart is to disable save configuration.

For disabling it on runtime and verifying run below commands

Check current save configuration

pawan@devops:~$ redis-cli config get save
1) "save"
2) "900 1 300 10 60 10000"

Same setting will be present in redis.conf file as well

pawan@devops:~$ grep -w 'save' /etc/redis/redis.conf | grep -v '#'
save 900 1
save 300 10
save 60 10000

Disable save configuration

pawan@devops:~$ redis-cli config set save ""
OK

Modify redis.conf file with the new save configuration so that the configuration remains permanent on redis service restarts

root@ip-172-16-3-114:~# redis-cli config rewrite
OK

Confirm the new save configuration

pawan@devops:~$ redis-cli config get save
1) "save"
2) ""

Now if you will scan the redis.conf file for save configuration there won't be any results

pawan@devops:~$ grep -w 'save' /etc/redis/redis.conf | grep -v '#'  
pawan@devops:~$
