Redis [QUESTION] Docker Compose Healthcheck with ACL

I have a small question about using ACL and the Redis CLI in combination for a healtcheck in my Docker Compose file.

healthcheck:
    test: ["CMD", "redis-cli", "-a", "password", "--no-auth-warning", "ping"]
    timeout: 30s
    retries: 5
    start_period: 10s

Currently, I have the following section in my Docker Compose file for the healtcheck. This also works great when times has a default user enabled, as I only need to provide the password. Unfortunately I can't find a way to do this ping call directly if you have a user and password.

Generally I would just register a ping user in my users.acl, which is only allowed to execute the ping command.

Since I currently can't create an extra user, because then I can't use the workaround anymore, I have now given the default user only rights for the ping command.

user default on #sha265 nocommands +ping

Is this the best workaround, or is there a better one so I can create a separate user and just disable the demonuser.

Thanks a lot Jonas

Hello @gowizzard

I can't find a way

Have you tried?

test: ["CMD", "redis-cli", "-a", "password", "--user", "myuser", "--no-auth-warning", "ping"]

Hallo @itamarhaber,

thank you for your answer. Sorry I have overlooked the argument. I have now adjusted the whole thing, and I can now disable the default user.

test: [ "CMD", "redis-cli", "--user", "ping", "--pass", "test", "--no-auth-warning", "ping" ]

Have a nice weekend!
