DDEV Redis

Note

This add-on has absorbed functionality from ddev/ddev-redis-7, see Advanced Customization.

Overview

This add-on integrates Redis into your DDEV project with Redis persistence enabled by default.

ddev restart

After installation, make sure to commit the .ddev directory to version control.
