Self-host Redis Cache Starter with Docker

A web service backed by a Redis cache, the cache-aside pattern most apps reach for first. This page describes the Levelrail template for Redis Cache Starter (Starter Kits). It deploys the services below as one Docker Compose app on your own server. Project site: https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/connect/clients/. Recommended memory: about 192 MiB.

Service	Image	Container ports	Volumes
`cache`	`redis:7-alpine`	none	`redis_cache_data -> /data`
`web`	`node:22-alpine`	3000	none

Environment variables
