How to use ea-podman to install ea-redis62 on a cPanel account

Introduction

Redis can be installed with EasyApache 4 Containers via the ea-podman command.

Please note that Podman Containers are only supported on AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, and Ubuntu systems.

Procedure

1. Access the server's command line as the 'root' user via SSH.
2. Install the ea-podman-repo, ea-podman, and ea-redis62 packages.
   • AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux

     dnf install ea-podman-repo -y

     dnf install ea-podman ea-redis62 -y

   • Ubuntu

     apt install ea-podman-repo -y

     apt update

     apt install ea-podman ea-redis62 -y

3. Access the server's command line as the cPanel user via SSH.
   Please note that the cPanel user must have "Normal Shell" access to use Podman.
   The ea-podman script will not run in the cPanel Terminal. The user must log in via SSH to run the script.
   
4. Run the following command to create a container for the current user.

   /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/ea-podman install ea-redis62
