There is a half-lazy database server running PostgreSQL inside local network and I wanted to use it for Discourse too. Reason for this is that the web server, is far more stressed than the previously mentioned database one, which still has a lot of unused resources/potential. Redirecting Discourse’s PostgreSQL was quite easy, following a few threads on this forum (example). Whenever I try to do the same for Redis though: commenting out - "templates/redis.template.yml" setting DISCOURSE_REDIS_HOST instead I always get: Pups::ExecError: cd /var/www/discourse && su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake db:migrate' failed with return # Location of failure: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/3.2.0/gems/pups-1.1.1/lib/pups/exec_command.rb:117:in `spawn' exec failed with the params {"cd"=>"$home", "hook"=>"db_migrate", "cmd"=>["su discourse -c 'bundle exec rake db:migrate'"]} bootstrap failed with exit code 1 whenever I try to rebuild with launcher rebuild app Is this a known issue? Anyone successfully running Discourse with non-containerised Redis?

[תמונה] Silver Dream !: setting DISCOURSE_REDIS_HOST instead That is all you need indeed. Can you paste a the complete rebuild error? You probably have either the need for a password, mandatory TLS or an unreachable domain. Which one should be clear in the rebuild log.

That’s basically all. There are some warnings further up the log: warning " > @mixer/parallel-prettier@2.0.3" has unmet peer dependency "prettier@^2.0.0". warning "eslint-config-discourse > eslint-plugin-lodash@7.1.0" has unmet peer dependency "lodash@>=4". warning " > babel-plugin-debug-macros@0.4.0-pre1" has unmet peer dependency "@babel/core@^7.0.0". warning "workspace-aggregator-3fff36d0-9fd8-4d1a-ac4c-d10694a59627 > discourse > @uppy/aws-s3@3.0.6" has incorrect peer dependency "@uppy/core@^3.1.2". warning "workspace-aggregator-3fff36d0-9fd8-4d1a-ac4c-d10694a59627 > discourse > @uppy/aws-s3-multipart@3.1.3" has incorrect peer dependency "@uppy/core@^3.1.2". warning "workspace-aggregator-3fff36d0-9fd8-4d1a-ac4c-d10694a59627 > discourse > @uppy/xhr-upload@3.1.1" has incorrect peer dependency "@uppy/core@^3.1.2". but they are there even when rebuilding with containerised Redis.

Yes, that’s exactly what I am doing, thank you. I only wish that message was marked as ERROR rather than INFO (among many other INFOs), and stopped right away. Lost a lot of time debugging all sort of things and not noticing this line

Redis doesn’t use many resources and you can’t share it with Multiple servers. I would just use the discourse one that was already working.

I believe Discourse uses some Redis commands that were only introduced with 6.2.

You can also install it using Redis’ official APT repository:
