I keep getting timeouts from redis/hiredis and would like to increase the timeout to see if it fixes the issue. (I am connecting to a remote redis instance, not on the same instance as Discourse.) Additionally I need to turn off CLIENT operations as well. Afaict both of these would be done in a red…

You can config redis using the app.yml section Beginning of custom commands with something like - replace: filename: "/etc/redis/redis.conf" from: "daemonize yes" to: ""

I’m sure I am misunderstanding something here, but when I see /etc/… I assume that is happening on the vm running the redis server. Am I wrong in that reading? I am trying to change how the Discourse rails app communicates with the remote redis instance so that it (the client side) will make those …

Oh that is interesting to know. A PR to allow setting custom REDIS_CLIENT_ID and REDIS_TIMEOUT, with current values as defaults sounds a good idea.

So if you look at https://github.com/discourse/discourse/compare/master...shanel:master you’ll see the necessary edit for the client id. (Turns out that is the only one I needed.) Unfortunately I am currently not allowed by my job to sign your release form. I could try to get my SVP to okay it, but…
