This repository provides Redis 7 container for DDEV.
It is based on redis:7.2-alpine docker image and DDEV custom compose files
Comparison to v6 (ddev/ddev-redis)
There are a lot of differences between v6 addon and this one
| Feature | ddev/ddev-redis | ddev/ddev-redis-7 |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum Memory | Unlimited | 512Mb |
| Persistence | Optional | Yes |
| Redis Version | 6.x.y | 7.2.x |
| Image Size | ~40Mb | ~11Mb |
| Anonymous Volumes | No | No |
| Optimized config | No | Yes |
Official redis docker container mounts an anonymous volume on /data because... reasons. That volume is recreated on every restart. This one mounts the persistence directory on /data and names it according to the project name, and gives it a proper label. This way, each DDEV project has it's own data volume, and data can persist accordingly
Yes, persistence. This container is configured to persist data on /data volume. This means that if you stop the container, and start it again, the data will be there. This is useful for long-term caching of data, and for keeping the cache primed between ddev restarts.
$ ddev get ddev/ddev-redis-7
$ ddev restart
Important
Authentication is setup by default, and the password is redis.
If needed, you can auth with a username and password.
Username is redis as well.
Redis configuration files are split in the .ddev/redis/conf folder, you can modify them as you wish.
Otherwise, plugin just works out of the box.
