[IntelMQ-users] Valkey replacing Redis in Linux distros

Dear IntelMQ users

With Redis' license model change[0], the fork 'Valkey'[1] has emerged as 
the drop-in replacement following the spirit of FOSS the closest.

It is expected that Linux distros will replace redis with valkey. 
FreeBSD already provides valkey[2], but hasn't dropped redis yet. 
openSUSE has already dropped redis[3] in favor of valkey in their 
rolling-release/development product. And Debian is considering the 
change too[4].

Before this change comes into effect in the distros' stable releases, 
one or two years will probably still pass, so this is an early heads-up :)

You may also consider using other redis-replacements[5], but none of 
them are yet tested thoroughly with IntelMQ

best regards
Sebastian
