You can install Laravel-PSRedis easily with composer.

 "require": { "indatus/laravel-ps-redis": "^1.2", }, 

If you're using Laravel 4 then the installation is slightly different. Laravel-PSRedis depends on sparkcentral/psredis which requires 'predis/predis': '>=1.0' in it's stable release. I've taken the liberty of forking sparkcentral/psredis and rolling back predis/predis to 0.8.7 which is required by laravel 4. To utilize this fork simply require both indatus\larave-ps-redis and sparkcentral/psredis in your composer.json. And add a repository to point to the fork. Like so:

 "repositories": [ { "type": "vcs", "url": "https://github.com/Olofguard/PSRedis" } ], "require": { "indatus/laravel-ps-redis": "dev-master", "sparkcentral/psredis": "dev-master" }, 

This will help composer form an installable set of packages, otherwise composer complains about laravel needing predis/predis at version 0.8.7 while sparkcentral/psredis is installing 1.0.*.

Next, just fill in your sentinel/redis server info in the app/config/database.php config files that already exist in your application.

You may already have some default laravel config values in place in your database config file that looks like this.

/* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Redis Databases |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Redis is an open source, fast, and advanced key-value store that also | provides a richer set of commands than a typical key-value systems | such as APC or Memcached. Laravel makes it easy to dig right in. | */ 'redis' => [ 'cluster' => false, 'default' => [ 'host' => '127.0.0.1', 'port' => 6379, 'database' => 0, ], ], 

Just overwrite those with the values below and fill in your server info.

 'redis' => [ /** the name of the redis node set */ 'nodeSetName' => 'sentinel-node-set', 'cluster' => false, /** Array of sentinels */ 'masters' => [ [ 'host' => 'sentinel-instance.domain.com', 'port' => '26379', ], [ 'host' => 'sentinel-instance.domain.com', 'port' => '26379', ] ], /** how long to wait and try again if we fail to connect to master */ 'backoff-strategy' => [ 'max-attempts' => 10, // the maximum-number of attempt possible to find master 'wait-time' => 500, // miliseconds to wait for the next attempt 'increment' => 1.5, // multiplier used to increment the back off time on each try ] ]; 

Finally, you just need to add the service provider to the providers array in app.php and comment or remove the redis service provider.

 /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Autoloaded Service Providers |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | */ 'providers' => [ ... // 'Illuminate\Redis\RedisServiceProvider', # comment this out 'Indatus\LaravelPSRedis\LaravelPSRedisServiceProvider' # add this ], 

Note: you may have to composer dump-autoload after adding the service provider

1. Fork it
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
3. Commit your changes (git commit -m 'Added some feature')
4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
5. Create new Pull Request

Feel free to clone the repo and run the unit tests locally.
