Redis 8 Docker image module loading config directives fail loadmodule redis-stack migration paths

A container starts but module loading/config directives fail after moving to Redis 8.

Agent Quick Fix

Repair against the current Redis contract, then keep the change narrow and source-backed.

Product: Redis
Current-contract area: Redis Stack image migration changes module/config paths
Likely root cause: A container starts but module loading/config directives fail after moving to Redis 8.
Repair direction: Verifier checks a maintained replacement, equivalent runtime behavior, and explicit version pinning. Verify required commands/modules and supported patch channel.

Symptom

A container starts but module loading/config directives fail after moving to Redis 8.

Why This Happens

The Dockerfile tag may still resolve from caches while the official image is deprecated or no longer maintained; replacement choice is external.

Common Wrong Fixes

  • Changing local code without checking the current external contract.
  • Retrying the same install, build, or API call with no version/source change.
  • Applying a broad unsafe bypass when a narrow compatibility fix is available.
