I've installed the php7-redis extension in an alpine container running in k8s. Added a conf ini file that enables redis and sets the host. This shows up in phpinfo's output but the app being deployed (flarum) doesn't seem to be saving its sessions to redis. Basically needed because we want to run multiple replicas of flarum.

Can I deregister files user rediscluster leaving only redis or some other way force it to be used? Can't see what option I've missed or why no sessions are being saved to redis.
I've tested it should be working by using this script
<?php
session_start();
$count = isset($_SESSION['count']) ? $_SESSION['count'] : 1;
echo $count;
$_SESSION['count'] = ++$count;
After refreshing this test.php file session data shows up in redis. Is there something in flarum preventing its use?
FYI php-fpm in use with nginx
I also see this discussion at https://discuss.flarum.org/d/25889-how-to-use-redis-for-session-storageindustrial furniture but can't understand all this process.
