Help on running Friendica on Kubernetes

[oculos]

Hi,

I am sorry that I post this here, I didn't find anywhere I could find this info. I am planning to deploy a Friendica instance on Kubernetes. My questions are:

• In order to scale in the future, is it enough to scale the amount of replicas of the app image? And of the web image as well?
• Is redis necessary? I saw some of the examples have it, some don't.

Redis is optional, it just is one of the few cache backends Friendica supports. I believe that in an auto-scaling context having an independent Redis cache backend can speed up the whole cluster but I’d refer to @nupplaphil

Redis is a high-performance distributed key-value storage and it's a best practice to use it for container session handling. tbh I copied and adapted most of the functionality from Nextcloud :)

I added my setup as a possible guideline, how Redis can be used
