DJ Redis Panel

Redis is an essential part of many Django applications. It powers caching, queues, sessions, and real-time features. But if you’ve ever wanted a simple, browser-based UI to inspect or modify Redis data while developing or debugging, you’ve probably reached for a terminal tool like redis-cli or a standalone GUI. That’s where dj-redis-panel comes in.

dj-redis-panel adds a Redis browser right into your Django admin interface, letting you explore keys and values without leaving your Django workflow. It’s free, open-source, and designed for developers who want quick insights into their Redis data structures. It’s available now and completely open source:

• git repo
• pypi
• docs

Just install it:

1pip install dj-redis-panel

and add it to your settings under installed apps:

 1INSTALLED_APPS = [
 2    'django.contrib.admin',
 3    'django.contrib.auth',
 4    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
 5    'django.contrib.sessions',
 6    'django.contrib.messages',
 7    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
 8    'dj_redis_panel',  # Add this line
 9    # ... your other apps

I have personally used redis in practically every single django project I’ve ever contributed to. In all of those projects, I have always felt the need for a piece of software like this. dj-redis-panel fills a real gap for Django developers: giving a native admin UI for Redis inspection and light management. If you work with Redis in Django, especially for caching, Celery result stores, or session data, this tool can make your workflow much smoother. By being part of the Django admin, it also becomes a secure part of the rest of your ecosystem.
