Valkey Cache

Open-source Redis-compatible key-value store. Drop-in replacement for Redis with the same commands and protocols.

Default Configuration

Image: valkey/valkey:alpine
Container: damp-valkey
Port: 6379:6379
Network: devnet
Volume: damp-valkey:/data

Redis Compatible

Valkey uses the same protocol as Redis - existing Redis clients work without modification!

# Use redis-cli (fully compatible)
redis-cli -h damp-valkey

# Test connection
redis-cli -h damp-valkey ping

Laravel .env:

REDIS_HOST=damp-valkey
REDIS_PORT=6379
REDIS_PASSWORD=null

redis-cli -h localhost -p 6379

Connection String:

redis://localhost:6379

# Same as Redis!
SET key value
GET key
EXPIRE key 3600

// Laravel - works identically
Cache::put('data', $value, 3600);
$value = Cache::get('data');

Migration Tip

Switching from Redis? Just change the host to damp-valkey - everything else stays the same!
