Redis

How to use a Redis container?
Redis is a Key/Value storage that allows you to save data outside your database with blazing fast access.
Shopware supports the usage of Redis for session and cache handling.

Here is a sample of a docker setup that adds a new Redis instance to your Docker network. Just add the container and make sure its on the same network.
docker-compose.yml
version: "3"
​
services:
        
    shopware:
      image: dockware/play:latest
      container_name: shopware
      ports:
         - "80:80"
      networks:
         - web
      
    redis:
      image: redis:5.0.6
      container_name: redis
      networks:
        - web
​
networks:
  web:
    external: false
Shopware Configuration
Connection
Now make sure you configure the Redis instance to be used either for session handling, cache handling or both. 
Add the following to your ".env" file:
.env (partial)
REDIS_SESSION_HOST=redis
REDIS_SESSION_PORT=6379
REDIS_CACHE_HOST=redis
REDIS_CACHE_PORT=6379
Use Redis Caches
Please note, that you also need to use it for specific parts in Shopware.
