Build DragonflyDB From Source

Running the server

Dragonfly runs on linux. It uses relatively new linux specific io-uring API for I/O, hence it requires Linux verion 5.10 or later. Debian/Bullseye, Ubuntu 20.04.4 or later fit these requirements.

WARNING: Building from source on older kernels WILL NOT WORK.

If your host machine does not have at least Linux verion 5.10 or later, we suggest you choose a Dockerized Quick Start.

Step 1

git clone --recursive https://github.com/dragonflydb/dragonfly && cd dragonfly

Step 2

# Install dependencies
sudo apt install ninja-build libunwind-dev libboost-fiber-dev libssl-dev \
     autoconf-archive libtool cmake g++

Step 3

# Configure the build
./helio/blaze.sh -release

# Build
cd build-opt && ninja dragonfly

Step 4

# Run
./dragonfly --alsologtostderr

Dragonfly DB will answer to both http and redis requests out of the box!

You can use redis-cli to connect to localhost:6379 or open a browser and visit http://localhost:6379

Step 5

Connect with a redis client

redis-cli
127.0.0.1:6379> set hello world
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> keys *
1) "hello"
127.0.0.1:6379> get hello
"world"
127.0.0.1:6379>

Step 6

Continue being great and build your app with the power of DragonflyDB!
