Linking Redis database with a dump.rdb or dump.json file

Given a snapshot of an existing redis database in a dump.rdb (or in .json format) file, I want to restore this data in my own machine to run some tests on it.

Any pointers on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.

I have resorted to trying to parse the data in the dump.rdb and then save it in a redis DB manually. I feel like there is/should be a cleaner way.

the rdd tools can also do that,

it work independantly of .rdb files and dump/restore working redis instances

it can apply merge, split, rename, search, filter, insert, delete on dumps and/or redis

SO:

I continued doing it the "hacky" way and found that using the parser code found here: https://github.com/sripathikrishnan/redis-rdb-tools was a great help.

using the parser sample code i could: 1) set up a redis client 2) use the parser to parse the data 3) use the client to "set" parsed data into a new redis database.

If you want to restore the entire file, simply copy it to the right directory specified in redis.conf and restart redis server. But if you want to load a subset of keys/databases, you'd have to parse the dump file.
