Simple Go Redis Server

This project is a simple Redis-like server implemented in Go. It supports basic Redis commands like PING, SET, GET, HSET, and HGET. The server also supports Append-Only File (AOF) persistence to ensure data durability.

Features

• PING: Check the server's status.
• SET: Set a string key to a string value.
• GET: Get the value of a string key.
• HSET: Set a field in a hash.
• HGET: Get the value of a field in a hash.
• AOF Persistence: Commands that modify data (SET and HSET) are logged to an AOF file to ensure data durability.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Running the Server

1. Build and run the server using Docker Compose:

   docker-compose up --build

2. Interact with the server using a Redis client:

   You can use any Redis client to connect to the server running on localhost:6379. For example, using redis-cli:

   redis-cli -p 6379

   or utilize the existing docker compose setup like:

   docker compose exec redis-client sh
   redis-cli -h redis-server -p 6379

   after which you can start sending commands to the server.

   Example commands:

   SET key1 value1
   GET key1
   HSET hash1 field1 value1
   HGET hash1 field1

Volumes

The AOF file is stored in a Docker volume to persist data across container restarts. The file is mapped to the ./app directory in the container.
