Need more info Redis integration support for horizontal scaling

Hi,

I read about this being in place now. i couldn't find much documentation on this. Need clarity on a few points

  1. Redis is now being used as a common session cache for all instances of traccar. Is this understanding correct?
  2. It's going to be either multicast-based approach or a common layer with redis that would be used to facilitate inter node communication/record keeping. Where can we find the documentation for this?
  3. Would a single instance redis suffice for this or is sentinel required for this to work?

  1. No, it's only used for synchronization, not for caching.
  2. The best option is probably to check the source code.
  3. Probably depends on your goals.
