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

Anonymous volumes - Wait, what?

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

Persistence?

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.

Installation

For DDEV v1.23.5 or above run

ddev add-on get ddev/ddev-redis-7

For earlier versions of DDEV run

ddev get ddev/ddev-redis-7

Then restart your project

ddev restart

Configuration

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.
