    volumes:
      - db/REDIS:/data

  sidekiq_web:
    image: iamteacher/sidekiq:web.arm64
    environment:
      REDIS_URL: redis://redis:6379

  -e SIDEKIQ_USER=admin \
  -e SIDEKIQ_PASSWORD=admin \
  iamteacher/sidekiq

Important notes

• Sidekiq iteself must be run in a container with your application. This container provides only Web UI which can be started separately only by having an access to Redis.
• Sidekiq does not support Redis Client Namespaces anymore. You should not use namespace option in your application.

Sidekiq.configure_client do |config|
  config.redis = {
    url: redis_url,
    namespace: 'my-app-namespace' # <<< must be removed
  }
end
