• Forwards messages from one (or more) channels/lists to one (or more) other channels/lists
• Channels/lists can be on same or different Redis servers
• Simple configuration
• Lightweight, efficient, written in Go

You can install the native binary for your operating system or use the Docker container.

See example configurations.

Install:

brew tap outofcoffee/gefyra
brew install gefyra

Run:

export BRIDGE_CONFIG=./examples/channel_fan_out.yaml gefyra

docker run --rm -it -v /path/to/config/dir:/opt/gefyra/config outofcoffee/gefyra

The following objects can be bridged:

Build and run:

docker-compose up --build

For other architectures, see the multiarchitecture documentation.

You should see something similar to the following:

loading config file: /etc/gefyra/config/one_up_one_down.yaml
loaded 1 upstream(s) and 1 downstream(s)
connecting to upstreams
initialising redis connection to upstream:6379
checking redis connection [attempt #1]...
redis connected at upstream:6379
connecting to downstreams
initialising redis connection to downstream:6379
checking redis connection [attempt #1]...
redis connected at downstream:6379
starting bridge upstream:6379/chan->downstream:6379/chan

If you've started the example using Docker Compose (above), then you can test by sending a message to the upstream and seeing it propagate downstream.

Subscribe to downstream:

docker run --rm -it --network gefyra_redis bitnami/redis:4.0 redis-cli \
  -h downstream \
  -a password \
  SUBSCRIBE output-chan

Publish from upstream:

docker run --rm -it --network gefyra_redis bitnami/redis:4.0 redis-cli \
  -h upstream \
  -a password \
  PUBLISH input-chan hello

gefyra, γέφυρα, is Greek for 'bridge'.
