Enable Redis AOF via Aspire .AddRedis

[MatzeG]

Hello everyone,

I’m currently trying to enable AOF (Append-Only File) persistence for a Redis container in Aspire 9.3, but I'm running into an issue. No matter what I try, the container always starts with appendonly set to no (AOF enabled = 0).

Has anyone successfully enabled AOF for Redis in Aspire 9.3?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! 😊

Thanks in advance!

var cache = builder.AddRedis("cache")
.WithDataVolume("myRedisData", false)
.WithPersistence(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10), 5)
.WithEnvironment("REDIS_APPENDONLY", "yes")
.WithRedisCommander();

Where did you find the REDIS_APPENDONLY env variable?

[Alirexaa]

The WithPersistence uses RDB or Snapshotting method to persist data. For persisting by AOF method the redis-server should be run by appendonly yes arg (not setting environment variable).

Currently, we use redis-server --save 60 1 not redis-server appendonly yes.

I think we should add WithRDBPersistence and WithAOFPersistence and then deprecate WithPersistence in favor of WithRDBPersistence.

@davidfowl @eerhardt thoughts?

Not sure we need to deprecate WithPersistence but yeah lets file an issue to add those methods.

We also could spend WithPersistence a parameter to configure
