Redis Backups

[slashtechno]

What problem will this feature address?

There's no built-in support to backup Redis database instances to S3. Currently, unlike a normal, non-database container, there's no way to do volume backups either.

Describe the solution you'd like

A tab to configure volume backups, or, alternatively, an option to automatically run DUMP and back up the output to an S3 destination.

Describe alternatives you've considered

A script triggered by a cronjob that runs DUMP and manually uploads to s3.

Will you send a PR to implement it?

Maybe, need help

Hi @Siumauricio, is Redis backup support something you would like to implement officially in Dokploy, or should this be handled externally by users?

If it fits the roadmap, I’d be happy to help with a PR.

I prepared a concrete implementation plan for this, but I have not fully solved it yet.

The approach is to add a dedicated Redis backup tab, extend the existing database-backup pipeline to support Redis, store Redis snapshot backups in S3, support scheduled and manual backups with retention, and add restore support back into the Redis data mount.

I also mapped the schema, API/router, worker, restore flow, and UI changes needed so this can be implemented incrementally on top of the current Postgres backup model.
