    Jonathan from Known Host just said Redis is no longer open source:
    New Redis Install

    He also comments how Valkey is a drop-in replacement to it:
    Valkey

    And how it works fine with xenForo.


    Is anyone using it?

    Did you know Redis is no longer open source? Would we have to eventually switch?

    So spent <15 minutes testing switching Centmin Mod default Redis server installed via REMI YUM repo to Valkey server via EPEL YUM repo and came up with GitHub - centminmod/centminmod-valkey: Valkey drop-in replacement for Redis server for Centmin Mod AlmaLinux/Rocky Linux servers. Looks good so far, but probably needs more testing to see if any other changes are needed.

    redis-server symlink to valkey-server
    Code (Text):
    redis-server -v
    Valkey server v=8.0.1 sha=00000000:0 malloc=jemalloc-5.3.0 bits=64 build=4ed6032a97b67e84

    First Elasticsearch and now Redis.

    I wonder if Matt is thinking about revoking open source of Wordpress too. But I doubt it considering how it strives off of so many people unrelated to the core WP team and people hosted on Wordpress.com.
