So I renamed the file to kolibri.py and moved it to `"/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/kolibri/kolibri.py` and set my export to “kolibri.kolibri” (I am knew to Python/django stuff so I’m not that familiar with how things should be set) and once I did that I found my file was at least being referenced.

Changed the file to:

```auto
from kolibri.utils.conf import OPTIONS
from kolibri.deployment.default.settings.base import *
...

cache_options = OPTIONS["Cache"]

pickle_protocol = OPTIONS["Python"]["PICKLE_PROTOCOL"]

CACHES = {
    'default': {
        "BACKEND": "redis_cache.RedisCache",
        "LOCATION": cache_options["CACHE_LOCATION"],
        # Default time out of each cache key
        "TIMEOUT": cache_options["CACHE_TIMEOUT"],
        "OPTIONS": {
            "PASSWORD": cache_options["CACHE_PASSWORD"],
            "MAX_ENTRIES": cache_options["CACHE_MAX_ENTRIES"],
            # Pin pickle protocol for Python 2 compatibility
            "PICKLE_VERSION": pickle_protocol,
            "CONNECTION_POOL_CLASS": "redis.BlockingConnectionPool",
            "CONNECTION_POOL_CLASS_KWARGS": {
                "max_connections": cache_options["CACHE_REDIS_MAX_POOL_SIZE"],
                "timeout": cache_options["CACHE_REDIS_POOL_TIMEOUT"]
            },
            "CONNECTION_POOL_KWARGS": {
                #"skip_full_coverage_check": True,
                #"ssl_cert_reqs": None,
                "ssl": True,
                "ssl_ca_certs": "/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt"
            },
        },

    }
}

```

In the options.ini file I prefixed the connection with `rediss://` so it looked like:

`CACHE_LOCATION = rediss://endpoint:6379`

But that seemed to not help. Ultimately I needed to manually make changes following this [merge](https://github.com/sebleier/django-redis-cache/pull/170/commits/934187328c1c27e020b3c0d331701889cc6dee84).

Now Kolibri will start, but I am unsure how to verify that this is working. Any suggestion?
