Build DragonflyDB From Source

Running the server

Dragonfly runs on linux. We advise running it on linux version 5.11 or later but you can also run Dragonfly on older kernels as well.

⚠️ Dragonfly releases are compiled with LTO (link time optimization): Depending on the workload this can notably improve performance. If you want to benchmark Dragonfly or use it in production, you should enable LTO by giving blaze.sh the -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-flto" argument.

Step 1 - install dependencies

On Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt install ninja-build libunwind-dev libboost-fiber-dev libssl-dev \
     autoconf-archive libtool cmake g++ libzstd-dev bison libxml2-dev

On Fedora:

sudo dnf install -y automake boost-devel g++ git cmake libtool ninja-build libzstd-devel  \
     openssl-devel libunwind-devel autoconf-archive patch bison libxml2-devel libstdc++-static

On openSUSE:

sudo zypper install automake boost-devel gcc-c++ git cmake libtool ninja libzstd-devel  \
     openssl-devel libunwind-devel autoconf-archive patch bison libxml2-devel \
     libboost_context-devel libboost_system-devel

Step 2 - clone the project

git clone --recursive https://github.com/dragonflydb/dragonfly && cd dragonfly

Step 3 - configure & build it

# Configure the build
./helio/blaze.sh -release

# Build
cd build-opt && ninja dragonfly

Step 4 - voilà

# Run
./dragonfly --alsologtostderr

Dragonfly DB will answer to both http and redis requests out of the box!

You can use redis-cli to connect to localhost:6379 or open a browser and visit http://localhost:6379

Step 5

Connect with a redis client

redis-cli
127.0.0.1:6379> set hello world
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> keys *
1) "hello"
127.0.0.1:6379> get hello
"world"
127.0.0.1:6379>

Step 6

Continue being great and build your app with the power of DragonflyDB!
