Redis container

This container enables more consistent caching functionality in Black Duck and is used to improve application performance.

Redis is enabled by default as a primary cache mechanism.

To configure Redis, use the following settings:

• blackduck-config.env environment file to configure redis settings
  • Redis settings:

    • BLACKDUCK_REDIS_MODE:

      Redis mode can be standalone or sentinel

    • BLACKDUCK_REDIS_TLS_ENABLED:

      Whether to enforce TLS/SSL connections between Redis client and server.

• Use docker-compose.yml for Redis standalone mode which requires 1,024 MB additional memory

• Use both docker-compose.yml and docker-compose.redis.sentinel.yml for redis sentinel mode which provides high availability but also requires 3,168 MB additional memory.

• Redis container integrates with logstash and filebeat like other services.

• Redis container has a health status check.

• In Black Duck Hub system info page, there is a redis-cache tab where Redis debug info is shown.

The Redis container needs to connect to these containers/services:

• logstash

• cfssl

• Default max Java heap size: N/A

• Container memory:

  • Standalone 1024 MB

  • Sentinel mode 3168 MB

• Container CPU: 1

Can run as any user/group, for example. {"runAsUser": 4567, "runAsGroup": 4567}
