Just switched my #SelfHosted#PeerTube instance from using #Redis to #Valkey now that it has a stable release out as a #Docker#container too, and.. that went too easily 😅. I know this makes sense as it is 100% compatible, but it still feels quite amazing to have it just work.
In case it helps; I just switched to using the valkey/valkey:7-alpine image, and because I also renamed things in my docker-compose I added PEERTUBE_REDIS_HOSTNAME=valkey to the PeerTube .env file too. That's it!
Never quite worked up the impetus to attend or present at @linuxfoundation conferences since they struck me as a bit too "corporate". Now it's looking justified ☹️
I don't mind reform, but please be honest about it.
Hmmm ... What open source issue was I just looking at with #Microsoft involved... Oh yes, the whole #Redis mess. Just literally only a couple of days after I was talking with Microsoft reps at an #OpenSource conference.

We now understand why permissive #licensing is bad for #FOSS.
#Redis taught us why #GPL is important and #MIT, #Apache, #BSD etc allow corporations to enclose and steal our contributions.
#Israel's use of #Lavender for targeting in #Gaza, which may also use the code we donated to the commons, shows that we need to be more restrictive if we want to avoid assisting war crimes and probable #genocide.
I hope some lawyers are on this, and will help us add exclusions to protect from such use.
"A new project to resume development on the formerly open-source Redis project. We're calling it #Valkey, since it's a twist on the key-value datastore."
Today more companies are announcing their support of the Valkey community (the group that includes committed developers previously working on the OSS version of the core Redis engine): Aiven, Alibaba Cloud, Chainguard, Heroku, Huawei, Percona, and Verizon.
The Valkey community is announcing their first source code release: version 7.2.5. Now available for download from GitHub and usable via the project's official Docker image.
