I have one data container and I would like to use several web_only containers (several forums on separate servers). How to I pass a DB ID to web_only container so that multiple forums use their own cache? Without this the stats reported in Admin -> Reports are mixed up between different forums.

I’ve got the same issue. I have an existing redis cluster (with replication and failover) that I want Discourse to use, but I can’t find a way to tell Discourse which database index to use.
