09:51:14 GMT <kblin> hi folks
09:51:54 GMT <kblin> is this the appropriate place to ask questions related to the python library and Sentinel support?
13:02:18 GMT <aeiou> What network addresses does redis bind to automatically by default?
13:02:32 GMT <aeiou> I can connect on 127.0.0.1 but not via my private network address
13:02:40 GMT <aeiou> And I don’t have any firewalls setup
13:03:25 GMT <aeiou> Ah - # By default, if no "bind" configuration directive is specified, Redis listens for connections from all the network interfaces available on the server.
20:21:27 GMT <King_DuckZ> hey all, I'm writing a redis backend for my program and being a redis noob it would be really cool to get some sort of feedback
20:22:16 GMT <King_DuckZ> https://bitbucket.org/King_DuckZ/dindexer/commits/branch/dev
20:35:55 GMT <King_DuckZ> on my usage of the c library for now, since it's pretty much all there is to see atm
20:36:27 GMT <King_DuckZ> but anyways, hints on any part of the backend are welcome :)
20:41:52 GMT <minus> King_DuckZ: your redis_backend.cpp has mixed tabs and spaces
20:44:30 GMT <King_DuckZ> minus: damn... I've been trying to use clion, and it's messed up my files... I need to change the config maybe
20:44:35 GMT <King_DuckZ> thanks for spotting that
20:47:19 GMT <minus> any particular reason for using a plugin-system? C++ isn't exactly nice for that wrt compatibility
20:56:00 GMT <King_DuckZ> tabs fixed :)
20:57:39 GMT <King_DuckZ> minus: yes, I want to allow people to choose the db they prefer and let them implement a backend if there isn't one already as easily as possible
20:58:28 GMT <minus> except that you'd usually compile the whole thing anyway and thus could just bake it into the program
20:58:41 GMT <minus> pretty nice-looking C++ you got there
20:58:51 GMT <King_DuckZ> I also thought of the issue you mention, but then I said it shouldn't be too hard to provide a generic c wrapper around the c++ plugin class, so I'll probably do that at some point
21:00:25 GMT <King_DuckZ> that's also work in progress, I need to add some option to cmake to let you choose which backends you want to build, so I won't force unwanted dependencies on everybody
21:00:48 GMT <King_DuckZ> the backend system is pretty new, so I'm still polishing it
21:00:54 GMT <King_DuckZ> and thanks for the comment on my c++ :)
21:01:03 GMT <minus> as for the redis part: getting that done right really depends on what features you want. if you want a tag-based search it shouldn't be a big deal, anything more towards search may become a bit difficult
21:02:41 GMT <King_DuckZ> yeah, comes to think of it, is there anything like regex-based searches? because users will want to do locate *.png at some point
21:03:44 GMT <minus> nope
21:03:52 GMT <minus> redis does not allow you to search
21:04:01 GMT <minus> you'd have to build your own search index
21:04:11 GMT <minus> you can't even do full text search
21:06:01 GMT <King_DuckZ> hmm I've started writing that backend because I wanted to learn redis, but I'm starting to wonder if I should just drop it
21:08:19 GMT <King_DuckZ> because what I understand is that I'd have to make as many keys as there are files in my db, and download all of them and do any regex matching manually in c++... which is doable, but imagine if your client is running on a raspberry pi or something...
