Redis Helm chart

Usage

To install as a dependency chart, add the following to your requirements.yaml, or Chart.yaml:

dependencies:
  - name: redis
    repository: https://favish.github.io/helm-redis
    version: 1.1.0

Update the values.yaml for configuration options.

redis:
  image:
    repository: redis
    tag: "4-alpine"
  redisExporter:
    image:
      repository: "oliver006/redis_exporter"
      tag: "v0.14"
  metrics:
    enabled: false
  resources:
    requests:
      cpu: 100m
      memory: 1G
  args: ["--maxmemory 50mb", "--maxmemory-policy allkeys-lfu"]

Do not forget to execute this command to download the dependencies for the main Helm chart.

helm dependency update

NOTE: make sure to pair Redis image version with appropriate Redis metrics export version. Visit https://github.com/oliver006/redis_exporter for more information.

By the way, if you want to use Redis 7, these images should fit:

redis:
  image:
    repository: redis
    tag: "7-alpine"
  redisExporter:
    image:
      repository: "oliver006/redis_exporter"
      tag: "v1.67.0"

Values

Check out values.yaml for all available options.
