This is a fork of the official Lucee Redis extension: https://github.com/lucee/extension-redis
I created it so that I could modify a few things from the official extension:
- Added support for defining a namespace (key prefix) for all keys stored in the cache. This makes it easier for multiple caches to use the same Redis instance without clashing
- Respect a cache put with an idle timeout (by setting a ttl on the key). This allows the cache to be used for Lucee session storage without having the keys either last forever or expire according the the cache level ttl.
- Avoid setting keys with no expiration when Lucee passes in an idle timeout of -1. This can happens with older versions of Lucee when a new session is created, with the result that session keys with no expiration will be present in the cache.
As the official extension is worked on, I may or may not maintain this to match, or just switch back to it.
The official repository does not currently carry a license, but other Lucee extensions are licensed via LGPLv2.1, so I have added that license here.
Clone the repository to a new directory, and then via CommandBox, execute the task runner (task.cfc) in the repository

task runJava does need to be on your path as the task runner uses the Java Compiler (javac).
