# Get started

This doc has examples how to use workspace to interact with Redis.  

In examples we use local Redis that is running inside the workspace, but the commands apply to any Redis instance.


## Tutorial

Open Quickstart page [localhost:8020](http://localhost:8020/) for quick access to all the tools

</p> 

Use workspace terminal [localhost:8026](http://localhost:8026/) and load some Redis datasets 

```
git clone https://github.com/redis-developer/redis-datasets.git /home/project/redis-datasets
cat /home/project/redis-datasets/movie-database/import_actors.redis | redis-cli 
cat /home/project/redis-datasets/movie-database/import_movies.redis | redis-cli 
```

### GUI

Open Redis Commander UI on [localhost:8029](http://localhost:8029/) and explore Redis databases

Alternatively use browser-based VS-code [localhost:8025](http://localhost:8025/) with Redis extension

### CLI tools

If you prefer working in the terminal, explore Redis with [Redis-Tui](https://github.com/mylxsw/redis-tui). 
To connect to the internal Redis instance simply execute 

```
redis-tui
```

</p> 

To interact with internal Redis, inn the workspace terminal launch iredis CLI, get & set keys 

```
iredis
```

Iredis has autocompletion and hints, which might be handy for administrative tasks

```
iredis --newbie
```

Create dump of the Redis database

```
redis-dump-go -h localhost > /home/redis-movie-dump.resp 
```

Use File Browser [localhost:8021](http://localhost:8021) to get the dump to your PC
