REDIS CACHE

To set up REDIS for the cache, add this to the config/packages/framework.yaml file:

framework:
    cache:
        app: cache.adapter.redis
        system: cache.adapter.redis
        default_redis_provider: "redis://%env(REDIS_CACHE_HOST)%:%env(REDIS_CACHE_PORT)%/%env(REDIS_CACHE_DATABASE)%"

In your .env file add the following lines:

REDIS_CACHE_HOST="localhost"
REDIS_CACHE_PORT="6379"
REDIS_CACHE_DATABASE="0"

Where the REDIS_CACHE_DATABASE value corresponds to the database one wishes to use.
