Helm Chart 6.0.0 Breaking Change

fossa-core 6.0.0 renames the redis Helm values to cache. Update your values file before upgrading.

1 min readUpdated Jul 23, 2026

Overview

Starting with release 6.0.0, the redis Helm settings are renamed to cache to support the transition to the open-source version of Redis. Settings previously defined under redis.* move to cache.*, and settings under redis.master.* move to cache.redis.*.

Warning

When cache.provisionInstance is true, use cache.auth.password to set the Redis password. When cache.provisionInstance is false, use cache.password. This is by design: it segregates the passwords defined by fossa-core from those of the dependent Redis Helm chart (aliased as cache).

Update your values file as shown below, then run the upgrade as usual (see Upgrading FOSSA).

Provisioned Redis (provisionInstance: true)

Old format:

YAML
redis:  provisionInstance: true  auth:    password: "hello-world"  master:    resources:      requests:        memory: 128Mi        cpu: 100m

New format:

YAML
cache:  provisionInstance: true  auth:    password: "hello-world"  redis:    resources:      requests:        memory: 128Mi        cpu: 100m

External Redis (provisionInstance: false)

Old format:

YAML
redis:  provisionInstance: false  host: clustercfg.redis-abcd.usw2.cache.amazonaws.com  port: 6379  clustered: true  scaleReads: all  enableAutoPipelining: true  useTLS: true  password: "hello-world"

New format:

YAML
cache:  provisionInstance: false  host: clustercfg.redis-abcd.usw2.cache.amazonaws.com  port: 6379  clustered: true  scaleReads: all  enableAutoPipelining: true  useTLS: true  password: "hello-world"
