redis adapter

[nikitapilgrim]

Hi, don't you have an example of connecting a redis as a database?

[nyedidikeke]

Following the documentation, you should be able to connect to redis as below;

// pages/api/auth/[...nextauth].js
import NextAuth from 'next-auth'
import Providers from 'next-auth/providers'

const options = {
  // OAuth Service Providers and other details
  // Provide URL to redis to connect (here, from .env file)
  database: process.env.DATABASE_URL
}

export default (req, res) => NextAuth(req, res, options)

# .env
DATABASE_URL=redis://user:pass@host:port

You may want to check node-redis and rediSQL while experimenting and share details as redis may/is not currently be supported by default.

MySQL, Postgres, Microsoft SQL Server and MongoDB are supported.

If you want to use a Redis database you would need to write your own adapter.

Redis would be a really unconventional choice in a context like this and not something support is planned for.

Isn't storing sessions in Redis a good idea? https://stackoverflow.com/a/9153199/10854888
Or do you suggest just using JWT in this case?
