Whats the best setup for cache?

[mrclrchtr]

I am currently wondering what is the best setup for the cache? I have longhorn running in the cluster. Replicas are certainly not important. Does it make sense to go strict-local?

Currently I just use longhorn with numberOfReplicas=1.

I have also noticed that the log shows the following error message at the end of every run:

DEBUG: Checking file package cache for expired items

       }

Is this a problem?

Or is redis the best option for caching?

[viceice]

use redis or sqlite for cache they are much faster and use less disk space

[mrclrchtr]

That is the only correct answer! I have tried it out. With Redis it is much faster AND the node it runs on is much less stressed.

Setup was also very easy thanks to helm chart. Thanks a lot!
