I guess what I'm asking - can someone point me to a config file with a full redis config section? Reading the source code it loads some sort of "alias" sub-config which isn't explained anywhere what this is and why it's there?

In general, all keys from the redis config section (apart from cluster and db ) are fed directly into the StrictRedis driver class initialization call

I'm running clearml as an container app with mainly environment variables configuring the connections to the relevant services.

@<1585441130525233152:profile|TrickyGoose45> how are you setting it up?

ok, found it - you need to set apiserver and workers alias sub-config
