Redis

Ink deploys Redis 7 as a container service with a persistent volume and append-only persistence. Your agent provisions the instance using a template, and Ink returns a generated password plus a Redis connection string.

Deploying

Your agent uses the template_deploy MCP tool:

template_deploy(
  "template": "redis",
  "name": "my-cache"
)

{
  "services": [object Object],
  "outputs": [object Object]
}

Or via the CLI:

ink template deploy redis --name my-cache

Auto-generated password

Redis is deployed with --requirepass and a generated REDIS_PASSWORD. Use the returned connection_string output rather than hardcoding credentials.

Persistent storage

A persistent volume is attached at /data (10 Gi default). Data survives container restarts and redeployments.

Connecting

The response includes service endpoints and a connection string. Sibling services in the same project can use the returned internal endpoint; external clients should use the returned connection string and generated password.

redis://:password@hostname:6379

Client libraries

Node.js

npm install ioredis

import Redis from 'ioredis';

const redis = new Redis(process.env.REDIS_URL);

await redis.set('key', 'value');
const value = await redis.get('key');

Python

pip install redis

import os
import redis

r = redis.Redis(host="my-cache", port=6379, password=os.environ["REDIS_PASSWORD"])
r.set("key", "value")
value = r.get("key")
