How to setup redis-server 3.0.7 for Tyk 1.9.1 on Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS

Huh? Tyk doesn’t start Redis for you, you need to set that up yourself, since it has so many ways of being run (dev / prod / master+slave+hot-failover / cluster), Tykwon’t make that architecture decision for you.

That’s the bit when you create the actual cluster. You haven’t installed a cluster in that case, instead, you have a half-installed redis master/slave relationship (maybe). So the cluster flag in tyk.conf will not work since Tyk will try to speak to the redis DB as f it were a cluster, not as if it were a single instance.

If you can’t set up a Redis cluster using the guide, maybe just use a single instance? Or, if you must use a cluster, but don’t want to go through setting one up, maybe use a pre-built docker-based redis cluster, it’s much easier to get started and debug with?
