From f798ddd4922d793d5e6ccb7c4111810d549ff4f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gaspard d'Hautefeuille Date: Wed, 9 Jul 2025 07:55:37 +0200 Subject: [mod] migrate from Redis to Valkey (#4795) This patch migrates from `redis==5.2.1` [1] to `valkey==6.1.0` [2]. The migration to valkey is necessary because the company behind Redis has decided to abandon the open source license. After experiencing a drop in user numbers, they now want to run it under a dual license again. But this move demonstrates once again how unreliable the company is and how it treats open source developers. To review first, read the docs:: $ make docs.live Follow the instructions to remove redis: - http://0.0.0.0:8000/admin/settings/settings_redis.html Config and install a local valkey DB: - http://0.0.0.0:8000/admin/settings/settings_valkey.html [1] https://pypi.org/project/redis/ [2] https://pypi.org/project/valkey/ Co-authored-by: HLFH Co-authored-by: Markus Heiser --- docs/admin/settings/settings_valkey.rst | 53 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 53 insertions(+) create mode 100644 docs/admin/settings/settings_valkey.rst (limited to 'docs/admin/settings/settings_valkey.rst') diff --git a/docs/admin/settings/settings_valkey.rst b/docs/admin/settings/settings_valkey.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..396d5c8ad --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/admin/settings/settings_valkey.rst @@ -0,0 +1,53 @@ +.. _settings valkey: + +=========== +``valkey:`` +=========== + +.. _Valkey: + https://valkey.io +.. _Valkey-Installation: + https://valkey.io/topics/installation/ +.. _There are several ways to specify a database number: + https://valkey-py.readthedocs.io/en/stable/connections.html#valkey.Valkey.from_url + +A Valkey_ DB can be connected by an URL, in section :ref:`valkey db` you will +find a description to test your valkey connection in SearXNG. + +``url`` : ``$SEARXNG_VALKEY_URL`` + URL to connect valkey database. `There are several ways to specify a database + number`_:: + + valkey://[[username]:[password]]@localhost:6379/0 + valkeys://[[username]:[password]]@localhost:6379/0 + unix://[[username]:[password]]@/path/to/socket.sock?db=0 + + When using sockets, don't forget to check the access rights on the socket:: + + ls -la /usr/local/searxng-valkey/run/valkey.sock + srwxrwx--- 1 searxng-valkey searxng-valkey ... /usr/local/searxng-valkey/run/valkey.sock + + In this example read/write access is given to the *searxng-valkey* group.
