-## What is this?
+## DDEV Redis
 
-This repository allows you to quickly install Redis into a [DDEV](https://ddev.readthedocs.io) project using the instructions below.
+## Overview
 
-## Installation
+[Redis](https://redis.io/) is an in-memory key–value database, used as a distributed cache and message broker, with optional durability.
+
+This add-on integrates Redis into your [DDEV](https://ddev.com/) project with Redis persistence enabled by default.
 
-For DDEV v1.23.5 or above run
+## Installation
 
-```sh
+```bash
 ddev add-on get ddev/ddev-redis
+ddev restart
 ```
 
-For earlier versions of DDEV run
+After installation, make sure to commit the `.ddev` directory to version control.
 
-```sh
-ddev get ddev/ddev-redis
-```
+## Usage
 
-Then restart your project
+| Command | Description |
+| ------- | ----------- |
+| `ddev redis-cli` | Run `redis-cli` inside the Redis container |
+| `ddev redis` | Alias for `ddev redis-cli` |
+| `ddev redis-flush` | Flush all cache inside the Redis container |
+| `ddev describe` | View service status and used ports for Redis |
+| `ddev logs -s redis` | Check Redis logs |
 
-```sh
-ddev restart
-```
+Redis is available inside Docker containers with `redis:6379`.
+
+## Redis Credentials
+
+| Field    | Value                 |
+|----------|-----------------------|
+| Username | `redis`               |
+| Password | `` (empty by default) |
 
-With DDEV v1.23.5+ you can choose a different Redis tag, the command below creates a `.ddev/.env.redis` file that you can commit:
+## Advanced Customization
 
-1. `ddev dotenv set .ddev/.env.redis --redis-docker-image=redis:6`
-2. `ddev restart`
+To change the used Docker image:
 
-## Explanation
+```bash
+ddev dotenv set .ddev/.env.redis --redis-docker-image=redis:7
+ddev add-on get ddev/ddev-redis
+ddev restart
+```
 
-This Redis recipe for [DDEV](https://ddev.readthedocs.io) installs a [`.ddev/docker-compose.redis.yaml`](docker-compose.redis.yaml) using the `redis` Docker image.
+Make sure to commit the `.ddev/.env.redis` file to version control.
 
-Persistence is disabled by default (see [redis.conf](./redis/redis.conf)), follow the config instructions to enable it, or switch to https://github.com/ddev/ddev-redis-7 where it is enabled by default.
+All customization options (use with caution):
 
-## Interacting with Redis
+| Variable | Flag | Default |
+| -------- | ---- | ------- |
+| `REDIS_DOCKER_IMAGE` | `--redis-docker-image` | `redis:7` |
 
-* The Redis instance will listen on TCP port 6379 (the Redis default).
-* Configure your application to access Redis on the host:port `redis:6379`.
-* To reach the Redis CLI interface, run `ddev redis-cli` to begin a session. You can also run Redis CLI commands directly on the command-line, e.g., `ddev redis-cli INFO`.
