-> All versions after `0.10.0` will require an external Redis/Valkey instance. The SQLite database within the data folder will not be used going forward. For data persistence, refer to the [Redis](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/oss_and_stack/management/persistence/) docs. The sample `docker-compose.yml` below has also been modified to include Redis.

+> Starting `0.16.0`, Redis is **removed** as a dependency. There will be **no** databases required for the proxy from this version moving forward.
+> Migrating to `0.16.0` is as easy as removing the Redis container from your compose file.
+> Due to a major change on how data is being processed, any Redis persistence cannot be migrated over and a sync from the original M3U sources will be required.
