Can I use Bitnami Helm Chart to deploy Redis Stack?

Question

Background Currently, I am deploying a redis container using the [redislabs/redismod] (https://hub.docker.com/r/redislabs/redismod) image in the same pod as the application (nodejs). We are utilizing the RediSearch and RedisJSON modules to access redis cache. I am now planning to move this cache to its own pod, so that we have a single cache server serving the application hosted in multiple pods behind a load balancer.

Problem I would like to use Bitnami Helm chart to deploy a Redis Stack server. However, Bitnami only supports Redis OSS and not Redis Stack, which includes the redis modules that we need. So, the question is has anyone figured out a way to deploy Redis Stack server using a Helm chart?

Possible solution I found this nice medium article which seems like a potential workaround to what I am looking for but wanted to see if someone has tried this our already and if this solution would be OK for production use.

Sure thing; the following works with the 19.5.0 version of the bitnami/redis Helm chart. Make the following changes to your values.yaml.

image:
  repository: redis/redis-stack-server
  tag: 7.2.0-v10
replica:
  command:
    - "/opt/redis-stack/bin/redis-server"
    - "--loadmodule"
    - "/opt/redis-stack/lib/redisearch.so"
    - "MAXSEARCHRESULTS"
    - "10000"
    - "MAXAGGREGATERESULTS"
    - "10000"
    - "--loadmodule"
    - "/opt/redis-stack/lib/rejson.so"

The full Flux HelmRelease that we use for development purposes are as follows:

apiVersion: helm.toolkit.fluxcd.io/v2beta1
kind: HelmRelease
metadata:
  name: redis-1
  namespace: development
spec:
  chart:
    spec:
      chart: redis
      sourceRef:
        kind: HelmRepository
        name: bitnami
        namespace: system
      version: 19.5.0
  interval: 1m0s
  install:
    replace: true
    remediation:
      retries: -1
    disableWait: true
    disableWaitForJobs: true
  upgrade:
    force: true
    remediation:
      retries: -1
    disableWait: true
    disableWaitForJobs: true
  values:
    image:
      repository: redis/redis-stack-server
      tag: 7.2.0-v10
    master:
      persistence:
        enabled: true
        size: 50Gi
        storageClass: ceph-volatile
    replica:
      replicaCount: 3
      command:
        - "/opt/redis-stack/bin/redis-server"
        - "--loadmodule"
        - "/opt/redis-stack/lib/redisearch.so"
        - "MAXSEARCHRESULTS"
        - "10000"
        - "MAXAGGREGATERESULTS"
        - "10000"
        - "--loadmodule"
        - "/opt/redis-stack/lib/rejson.so"
      persistence:
        enabled: true
        size: 50Gi
        storageClass: ceph-volatile
    sentinel:
      # This will disable the master and replicas services and
      # create a single Redis service exposing both the Redis and Sentinel ports.
      enabled: true
