v1.7.0 — derive the Redis image
Derive the Redis image from .platform/services.yaml
ddev rdg-sync now also writes .ddev/.env.redis, pinning REDIS_DOCKER_IMAGE to the
version the hosted service declares — when the app relates a Redis service and the
ddev-redis add-on is installed.
services.yaml was already an input to this command (read for the database, hashed into
the staleness guard), so the version was sitting there unused.
Why pin. The ddev-redis default is a floating redis:7, and an unpinned major
floats: redis:8 resolves to 8.10 today while the hosted service runs 8.0.6. Two Redis
minors apart is not a difference worth meeting in production.
Notes
- A
valkey:service type derives to the Valkey image. - Relationship-driven: a Redis service the app doesn't relate to is ignored.
- Written only when
ddev-redisis installed; removed again only when the file carries
the generated marker —ddev redis-backendwrites the same path without one. - Changing the version needs the cache volume dropped, at least downwards
(Can't handle RDB format version N). It's a cache:
ddev stop && docker volume rm ddev-<project>_redis && ddev start.
Upgrading from v1.5.1 also brings v1.6.0's .ddev/rdg-native opt-out.
