Error with creating remoteStorage server

[mvajid]

Hello,

First of all, thank you so much for this repo. Absolutely love it.
While the free community server is great for testing, I want to setup my own on my Ubuntu box (as per this doc: https://github.com/FrigadeHQ/remote-storage/blob/main/apps/remote-storage-server/README.md)

For the standalone setup, I am constantly getting these errors:

remote-storage-server-api-1 | Redis Client Error Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:6379
remote-storage-server-api-1 | at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (node:net:1487:16) {
remote-storage-server-api-1 | errno: -111,
remote-storage-server-api-1 | code: 'ECONNREFUSED',
remote-storage-server-api-1 | syscall: 'connect',
remote-storage-server-api-1 | address: '127.0.0.1',
remote-storage-server-api-1 | port: 6379
remote-storage-server-api-1 | }

remote-storage-server-api-1 | address: '127.0.0.1',
remote-storage-server-api-1 | port: 6379
remote-storage-server-api-1 | }

The REDIS variables are commented in the .env file but still it keeps throwing this error. I followed the instructions as per the doc.

Any help or pointers would be appreciated. I just want to have an api server running where I can send the requests.

Hi @mvajid , you can install "Redis": https://www.cherryservers.com/blog/install-redis-ubuntu

@mvajid If you’re using the SQLite option, you should comment out the code inside onModuleInit in redis.service.ts or repalce following code for onModuleInit function

async onModuleInit() {
    // Only try to connect if Redis is the selected data store
    if (process.env.DATA_STORE !== 'redis') {
      console.log('Redis is not the selected data store. Skipping connection.')
      return;
    }
    
    try {
      console.log('Connecting to Redis...');
      this.client = await createClient({
        url: process.env.REDIS_URL,
        password: process.env.REDIS_PASSWORD,
      })
        .on('error', (err) => console.log('Redis Client Error', err))
        .connect()
      console.log('Connected to Redis successfully');
    } catch (e) {
      console.log('Failed to connect to Redis database', e)
    }
  }

The issue is that the app attempts to connect to Redis during module initialization, regardless of whether the environment is configured to use SQLite. This causes unnecessary connection attempts and potential errors if Redis isn’t set up.
