Nextcloud to use Redis as cache

Has there been any consideration of adding Redis as a cache for Nextcloud?

When trying to do a sync via Nextcloud’s WebDAV I get lots of file locking issues. Their documentation suggests using Redis for this type of cache.

I believe Nethserver already has Redis installed? systemctl status redis tells me it’s installed but not running. I see that it might be used for some specific modules, but I didn’t find anywhere in the documentation that tells me how it is configured by default.

Redis is used (afaik) for rSpamd

Is there any risk with adding another app inside Redis?

Create your own redis service like rspamd and it is safe, or use the default I think we do not use it

I hope it’s ok if I join here…

I want to use redis as WordPress persistant object cache.

Does anyone have experience with this and could explain how the connection is made?

Sincerely, Marko

Because of course NextCloud and Wordpress are exactly the same thing…

generic answer you will use either a tcp port or a linux socket like rspamd does, redis is just a kind of another database system like mariadb
