How to pass Redis connection to module?

[JonL]

You need to require /app/config/config.js from your module.

Also:

Config.json not being parsed?

@patrick I need to set Redis based on environment variables. Would you be so king to make the config.json so it’s parsed same as the app/modules/connections/db.json files are? "redis": "{{$_ENV.REDIS_URL}}", "session": { "store": { "$type": "redis" } } } Or treat redis as a connection(it probably should be) and move it into the /app/modules/connections and refactor the db and redis config logic while keeping the config.json unparseable.

If you want to use environment variables you need to change core files and make sure you discard changes with GIT with every update.

lib/setup/redis.js

const config = require('./config');

if (config.redis) {
    const redis = require('redis');
    global.redisClient = redis.createClient(config.redis === true ? 'redis://redis' : process.env.REDIS_URL);
}

module.exports = global.redisClient;

This way I set redis to NO(unchecked) on the UI and load it from dotenv
