Integrated Redis

[firmansi]

Recent OpenWebUI already included with redis management, is there any plan for Cloudron team to have redis activated along with OpenWebUI instance?

[girish]

I have opened an internal issue to investigate this.

@girish I truly hope that in the next update, the Cloudron team can integrate Redis into the OpenWebUI instance—especially since Redis appears to already be available within Cloudron. Redis is crucial for enabling real-time communication between client applications and OpenWebUI. Without this feature enabled, OpenWebUI becomes difficult to use for business purposes, particularly when there are many users. The absence of Redis often leads to frequent disconnections in streaming and real-time communication from the client application to the server (OpenWebUI), as well as issues when loading models from inference in the admin panel

I am looking into it.

Hello @firmansi
Are you referring to the latest release v0.6.19 with the following patch note:

Efficient Redis Connection Management: Implemented a shared connection pool cache to reuse Redis connections, dramatically reducing the number of active clients. This prevents connection exhaustion errors, improves performance, and ensures greater stability in high-concurrency deployments and those using Redis Sentinel.

Would you like this Redis feature you are looking for?

Since there is also REDIS_SENTINEL_HOSTS for scaled hosting environments like K8S, so I highly doubt you are referring to that one.

@james Hai, that's not what I mean, what i mean is https://docs.openwebui.com/tutorials/integrations/redis/

The configuration for docker as far as I know

version: '3.8'
services:
  redis:
    image: redis:latest
    container_name: redis
    ports:
      - "6379:6379"
    command: ["redis-server", "--requirepass", ""]  # Opsional: tambahkan password

  open-webui:
    image: ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main
    container_name: open-webui
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    environment:
      - REDIS_URL=redis://redis:6379
      - WEBSOCKET_REDIS_URL=redis://redis:6379
    depends_on:
      - redis
    volumes:
      - ./data:/app/backend/data

I don't know how to do that in Cloudron

@firmansi
I see you have noticed the update https://forum.cloudron.io/post/111557

[firmansi]

@james yes, it works like a charm

Hello @firmansi
Thanks for the feedback.
I was only able to confirm it was working with a debug startup.
So it is very good to read from you that it is in fact working.
