[Feature Request] Rename Redis to Valkey #202

Closed H0llyW00dzZ closed 7 months ago

Tell us about your feature request

Redis has changed their license, and it might not be usable/prohibited for future use, especially for building large RESTful APIs/websites using the template from this repository.

Source Valkey

Thanks for that. We need to decide what to do with Redis. The new licensing thing is a issue.

I think we are okay still beause we are using go-redis which is still under the BSD-2 license. I could be wrong.

@H0llyW00dzZ Didn't they implement the similar license as MongoDB? I don't know how specific the limitations are for small users, big corp are another story.

What we can do is limit the Docker image to version 7.2. As with Mongo, users will still use the services they need If over time, valkey proves to be as good and reliable as Redis, we can change it easily

@Ujstor It's different. Also, regarding the limitation, I don't really know if it's only about the limitation or if it's also about publishing the software as free and open-source.

How I understand this new licensing thing, the most affected are companies that resell services and software closely integrated with Redis, and it takes effect after the Redis 7.4 release. But what I know, I am not a lawyer.

That's a reason why I propose fixing the Docker image to version 7.2.4.
