Confused about Redis caching configuration

[davidshen84]

Hi,

I deployed litellm in my k8s cluster, and I have a Redis standalone deployed.

I tried to configure Redis caching by following https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/proxy/caching. However, I got a Redis cluster unreachable error. It seems to suggest it is expecting a Redis instance deployed in cluster mode.

I then removed the redis_startup_nodes values, followed this instruction and set up the REDIS environment variables. The server is started and functional.

I wonder if the server is really using my Redis instance in the 2nd method. Which way is the right way to configure Redis caching?

Thanks
