I want to use Redis through docker for the cache but got this error.
django.core.cache.backends.base.InvalidCacheBackendError: Could not find backend 'django.core.cache.backends.redis.RedisCache': No module named 'django.core.cache.backends.redis'
My cache settings are this.
CACHES = {
'default': {
'BACKEND': 'django.core.cache.backends.redis.RedisCache',
'LOCATION': 'redis://127.0.0.1:6379',
}
}
I took them from Django documentation.
I used this command to start a Redis instance in docker.
docker run --name some-redis -d redis
Django introduced the Redis backend in version 4.0. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/topics/cache/#redis
Make sure the the Django version in the docker container is at least 4.0.
Or if you don't want to upgrade Django, you can use packages such as django-redis
.
