Research direction

Read redis.config.php.tpl and _helpers.tpl, then trace how the chart maps environment values into the Redis URL. The issue says _helpers.tpl does not reference the Redis user; check the chart’s values and templates for the corresponding setting. Done when users can configure the Redis username and it is included in the Redis URL.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Describe your Issue

The redis.php.config utilized a enviroment variable "REDIS_USER" but the .evn and values don't have any support for using this. Which in turn means the REDIS_URL doesn't add the user name in.

Logs and Errors

redis.config.php.tpl ---
if (getenv('REDIS_HOST_USER') !== false) {
$CONFIG['redis']['user'] = (string) getenv('REDIS_HOST_USER');

Where as _helpers.tpl doesn't reference it at all

Additional context, if any

This is useful for users who might substitute redis for their own valkey release, which requires the default user called out when trying to login with ACLs.
