[nennogabriel]

@nebulon but in that way i should update n8n manualy? there are not a way to make it run with a enviroment variable?

[nennogabriel]

@nebulon nice... i follow the docs and get it working

I will lost automatic updates, but ok. I have redis now

[robi]

couldn't one simply use any existing redis service from another container?

@nennogabriel we will look into adding "optional redis" in the coming releases.

[nennogabriel]

@robi yes. I didnt thing about this. simple and good.

Hi !
I'm looking at your services, and wonder if Posgresql and Redis are integrated into your instances of n8n ?
Thanks !

[nebulon]

The main database for the n8n package is Postgres on Cloudron and that is integrated. Redis is not at the moment.

@nebulon thanks for your reply ! If I do have an external Redis, on the same hoster, but as you said, not integrate within Cloudron, should I use Redis with n8n ?

[nebulon]

You should be able to integrate your external redis via env variables https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/n8n/#custom-env

upstream docs for this are at https://docs.n8n.io/hosting/configuration/environment-variables/queue-mode/
