Redis (RomM Cache / Queue)

Redis 7 provides the caching and task-queue backend for RomM on Dankserver. RomM requires Redis (or Valkey) for its task queue; this deployment runs stock redis:7-alpine — no Valkey here, unlike the SearXNG cache on Dankclaw (Valkey).

Host: Dankserver — container name romm-redis, unit romm-redis.service (user-manager quadlet from dankserver/romm/quadlet/romm-redis.container).

Facts (verified from the live unit)

Item Value
Image docker.io/library/redis:7-alpine
Port 6379 — internal only; no PublishPort, so it is unreachable from the host network by construction
Network dankserver_appnet with alias=redis — that alias is what makes REDIS_HOST=redis in the RomM unit resolve
Data volume /home/dank/Containers/romm/redis:/data
Auth None — safe precisely because the container is not published anywhere; only appnet members can reach it

Unit shape (as deployed)

[Container]
ContainerName=romm-redis
Image=docker.io/library/redis:7-alpine
Network=dankserver_appnet:alias=redis
Volume=/home/dank/Containers/romm/redis:/data
HealthCmd=redis-cli ping
HealthInterval=10s
HealthTimeout=5s
HealthRetries=3

[Service]
Restart=always
RestartSec=5

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

No EnvironmentFile — there is nothing secret in this unit; the auth-less posture is enforced by network topology (alias-only reachability), not by a password. If a future client ever needs Redis from outside the appnet, add PublishPort and a requirepass in the same change — never just the port.

Backup

sudo rsync -a /home/dank/Containers/romm/redis /mnt/backup/romm-redis/

Redis here is cache + queue state; losing it costs queued jobs and cache warm, not the library (the database lives in MariaDB).
