Nextcloud version: 27.0.0
Operating system and version: Fedora Server 38
nginx version: 3.18-d83940d6-ls8 (probably)
PHP version: 8.2
The issue you are facing:
I followed this guide to install Nextcloud 26. A few changes were made to the script and I went through an entire troubleshooting saga getting it to work, then optimizing it, then breaking it, then fixing it again.
Nextcloud 27 was released. I updated. Broke a bunch of things because I was an idiot. I ended up completely re-installing from scratch and got everything to a 99% functional state.
Everything works pretty much as it did before the update except for two things.
First, this warning on the admin page. I didn’t have Redis configured in NC26 and didn’t bother enabling it in my initial setup.
The database is used for transactional file locking. To enhance performance, please configure memcache, if available. See the documentation ↗ for more information.
This warning is new.
I installed Redis on the OS level and configured it as best I could figure based on the official example docs.
The warning cleared.
Tried opening a markdown file in the Files app. Got this error in the log:

I uninstalled Redis and made a Redis Podman container on the same Podman network as Nextcloud and MariaDB.
Warning cleared. Same errors in the log. RedisException: Connection refused
I tried changing the host and port variables on config.php, but that only gave me new errors:
Redis::pconnect(): php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo for 10.0.89.0/24 failed: Try again at /config/www/nextcloud/lib/private/RedisFactory.php#137
and similar errors for every alternative host/port I tried.
config.php (causes RedisException error):

To be clear, if I simply don’t configure Redis, everything works except for that sole warning about transactional file locking.
If I do configure Redis, the warning clears, but I can’t access any files.
Best I can figure, it’s a permissions error, but whether it has to do with Fedora, SELinux, Podman, or… something else, I’m reaching the limits of my knowledge and experience and I can’t figure it out.
Let me know if there’s anything else I should include.
Thanks in advance for any help!
