Latest version of Sidekiq (a Ruby background job library) requires a Redis version that seems incompatible with Convox

Configuration
1

In the process of upgrading to Rails 6, we’ve had to update the Sidekiq gem, which we’re using with Redis. But when our app launches a background job, it fails with the following messages:

Booting Sidekiq 6.0.3 with redis options {:id=>"Sidekiq-server-PID-1", :url=>"redis://for1a9gx4l2875xj.esz3zt.ng.0001.euw1.cache.amazonaws.com:6379/0"}

…

You are connecting to Redis v2.8.24, Sidekiq requires Redis v4.0.0 or greater

As far as we can tell, the Redis version isn’t configurable - the resource doc seems to specify a single version that Convox runs off, and we haven’t found a command or setting that would change that. Can you advise?

Hi @sasha, the version is configurable via the version parameter, it just has a default of 2.8.24.
All the options are shown here: https://docs.convox.com/application/resources#redis

Hope that helps!
