     It is highly recommended to keep the task and cache databases separate. Using the same database number on the
     same Redis instance for both may result in queued background tasks being lost during cache flushing events.
 
+### Using Redis with UNIX sockets
+
+Redis may be configured by using the `URL` configuration setting,
+instead of specifying `HOST`, `PORT`, and so on.
+This can be used to specify a UNIX socket connection.
+
+For example:
+
+```python
+REDIS = {
+    "tasks": {
+        "URL": "unix:///run/redis-netbox/redis.sock?db=0"
+    },
+    "caching": {
+        "URL": "unix:///run/redis-netbox/redis.sock?db=1"
+    },
