CachePilot Server for ISPConfig, beta
Redis for ISPConfig hosting: one instance per customer, managed in the panel.
CachePilot Server adds Redis instances to ISPConfig 3.3 and later. Each customer gets a Redis 7 container with 128, 256 or 512 MB, provisioned through the ISPConfig cron in about 60 seconds.
From the panel to a running cache in four steps
01
Create the instance
In ISPConfig the customer or the admin picks a size of 128, 256 or 512 MB, a security mode and the persistence.
02
Wait for the cron
The ISPConfig cron starts the Redis 7 container. The instance is ready in about 60 seconds.
03
Copy the block
The Connection tab shows a finished wp-config block with WP_REDIS_* constants and the CA certificate for TLS.
04
Activate CachePilot
The CachePilot plugin reads the constants on activation and starts Autopilot. Nothing has to be typed twice.
What the Status tab shows
Nine figures per instance, read live from Redis.
| Figure | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Memory Used | Memory in use, next to the limit of the instance |
| Memory Peak | The highest memory use since the start |
| Hit Rate | Share of reads Redis could answer |
| Connected Clients | Open connections, for example PHP workers |
| Total Commands | Commands processed since the start |
| Uptime | Time since the last start of the instance |
| Keys | Number of stored keys |
| Evicted Keys | Keys Redis removed because memory was full |
| Security mode | TLS only, dual mode or plain only |
Actions per instance
Start, stop and restart, renew the password and download the CA certificate. Actions wait in a queue and run within the next minute through the ISPConfig cron.
