Fix Redis/Valkey startup commands and support authenticated cache backends #80

Description

@stoertebeker

Summary

Redis/Valkey hardening is incomplete in the current defaults, and the service command arrays appear to drop the custom config-file argument.

Evidence

  • .env.example:147-148 notes REDIS_PASSWORD is not used.
  • .env.example:161-164 notes VALKEY_USER and VALKEY_PASSWORD are not used.
  • compose.yaml:389 uses command: ["sh", "-c", "redis-server", "${PODMAN_REDIS_CONF_FILE_CONTAINER}"].
  • compose.yaml:411 uses command: ["sh", "-c", "valkey-server", "${PODMAN_VALKEY_CONF_FILE_CONTAINER}"].
  • compose.yaml:440 sets WHITEBOARD to REDIS_URL=redis://${VALKEY_HOST} without authentication.

Risk

Cache/session backends remain unauthenticated on the backend network, and custom hardening configs may not be applied at all.

Suggested Remediation

  • Fix the Redis and Valkey command arrays so the config file path is actually passed.
  • Support authenticated backends where the upstream images allow it.
  • Plumb auth settings through to all dependent services, including Whiteboard and Nextcloud.
