How can I use Redis for session storage in Django?

To use Redis for session storage in Django, you need to install the django-redis package and configure your settings.

What settings do I need to change in my Django project?

You need to set SESSION_ENGINE to 'django.contrib.sessions.backends.cache' and CACHES to use Redis.

Can you provide an example of the settings configuration?

Sure! Here's an example:

CACHES = {
    'default': {
        'BACKEND': 'django_redis.cache.RedisCache',
        'LOCATION': 'redis://127.0.0.1:6379/1',
        'OPTIONS': {
            'CLIENT_CLASS': 'django_redis.client.DefaultClient',
        }
    }
}
SESSION_ENGINE = 'django.contrib.sessions.backends.cache'
SESSION_CACHE_ALIAS = 'default'
