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
1
version: "3"
2
​
3
services:
4
        
5
    shopware:
6
      image: dockware/play:latest
7
      container_name: shopware
8
      ports:
9
         - "80:80"
10
      networks:
11
         - web

    redis:

      image: redis:5.0.6

      container_name: redis

Shopware Configuration

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)
1
REDIS_SESSION_HOST=redis
2
REDIS_SESSION_PORT=6379
3
REDIS_CACHE_HOST=redis
4
REDIS_CACHE_PORT=6379
Copied!
Use Redis Caches
Please note, that you also need to use it for specific parts in Shopware.
