Upgrade Redis ?

[bocan]

Something I've been wondering for a long while now. Why is this chart still using Redis 6?

Redis 7 is used in the docker-compose.yaml file and I'm running Redis 7 without any obvious issue in my own chart/cluster - so - is there some reason it's set to such an old version in Chart.yaml?

It just needs something like so:

17.8.3 (Redis 7.0.9) has come out since, so it's even beyond what I run.

I agree on updating all the subcharts to be the latest OCI compliant bitnami images. I've tested these and they work fine:

  - name: postgresql
    version: 12.6.0
    repository: oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts
    condition: postgresql.enabled
  - name: elasticsearch
    version: 19.10.1
    repository: oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts
    condition: elasticsearch.enabled
  - name: redis
    version: 17.11.6
    repository: oci://registry-1.docker.io/bitnamicharts
    condition: redis.enabled

Perhaps enabling renovate to help keep the dependency charts up to date is good idea? Dependabot unfortunately doesn't work for helm charts themselves yet (it only works to update the docker image tags within helm charts right now).

Upgrades to both the PostgreSQL and Redis charts would also allow them to be installed on ARM64 clusters now that Bitnami have started building containers for both AMD64 and ARM64

Redis was updated to 18.16.1. It's probably okay to close this as solved; if wanted, evaluating renovate could be a separate issue.
