How to use redis username with password in docker-compose?

Question

Currently I have the below service configured in my docker-compose which works correct with redis password. However, I would like to use also redis username together with password. Is there any similar command to requirepass or something else to enable username?

version: '3.9'
volumes:
  redis_data: {}
networks:
  ee-net:
    driver: bridge
services:
  redis:
    image: 'redis:latest'
    container_name: redis
    hostname: redis
    networks:
      - ee-net
    ports:
      - '6379:6379'
    command: '--requirepass redisPassword'
    volumes:
      - redis_data:/data

You can specify a config file

$ cat redis.conf
requirepass password
#aclfile /etc/redis/users.acl

Then add the following to your docker compose file

version: '3'
services:
  redis:
    image: redis:latest
    command: ["redis-server", "/etc/redis/redis.conf"]
    volumes:
      - ./redis.conf:/etc/redis/redis.conf
    ports:
      - "6379:6379"

Then you will get the password requirements

redis-cli
127.0.0.1:6379> ping
(error) NOAUTH Authentication required.
127.0.0.1:6379> AUTH password
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> ping
PONG

You may want to look into the ACLs line commented out there if you require more fine grained control
