Integrate with Redis

Use Olares Redis middleware by declaring it in OlaresManifest.yaml, then mapping the injected values to your container environment variables.

Redis installed

Redis service has been installed by default.

Configure OlaresManifest.yaml

In OlaresManifest.yaml, add the required Redis middleware configuration.

• Use the password field to specify the Redis access password.
• Use the namespace field to request a Redis namespace.

Example

middleware:
  redis:
    password: password
    namespace: db0

Inject environment variables

In your deployment YAML, map the injected .Values.redis.* fields to the environment variables your app uses.

Example

containers:
  - name: my-app
    env:
      # Host
      - name: REDIS_HOST
        value: {{ .Values.redis.host }}

      # Port
      # Quote the value to ensure it's treated as a string
      - name: REDIS_PORT
        value: "{{ .Values.redis.port }}"

      # Password
      # Quote the value to handle special characters correctly
      - name: REDIS_PASSWORD
        value: "{{ .Values.redis.password }}"

      # Namespace
      # NOTE: Replace <namespace> with the actual namespace defined in OlaresManifest (e.g., db0)
      - name: REDIS_NAMESPACE
        value: {{ .Values.redis.namespaces.<namespace> }}

Redis Values reference

Redis Values are predefined environment variables injected into values.yaml during deployment. They are system-managed and not user-editable.

Key	Type	Description
.Values.redis.host	String	Redis service host
.Values.redis.port	Number	Redis service port
.Values.redis.password	String	Redis service password
.Values.redis.namespaces	Map<String, String>	The requested namespace is used as the key. For example, if you request app_ns, the value is available at .Values.redis.namespaces.app_ns.
