django-redis persisting json data - django

Question

I have a small django site which controls an anstronomy dome and house automation. On start up the project loads 3 json files: relays, conditions and homeautomation. To avoid constant reading and writing to the Pi4's ssd I load the json files into REDIS (on start up in apps, see below). I already have REDIS running in a docker as the project uses celery.
My problem is that within a few minutes of loading the json into REDIS it clears the data out of cache.
I load the json file in the form of a dictionary (dict) in apps
cache.set("REDIS_ashtreeautomation_dict", dict, timeout=None)
and set
CACHES = {
"default": {
"BACKEND": "django_redis.cache.RedisCache",
"LOCATION": "redis://redis:6379",
"OPTIONS": {
"CLIENT_CLASS": "django_redis.client.DefaultClient",
"SERIALIZER": "django_redis.serializers.json.JSONSerializer",
"TIMEOUT": None
}
}
}
I don't need the data to persist if the dockers go down and I don't need db functions. Caching these files is ideal but I need them to 'stay alive' for the lifetime of the server.
Thank you.

Thank you Kevin.
Moving TIMEOUT solved the issue.
CACHES = {
"default": {
"BACKEND": "django_redis.cache.RedisCache",
"LOCATION": "redis://redis:6379",
"TIMEOUT": None,
"OPTIONS": {
"CLIENT_CLASS": "django_redis.client.DefaultClient",
"SERIALIZER": "django_redis.serializers.json.JSONSerializer",
}
}
}
I am going to include some code to catch the long term REDIS 'eviction' policies (i.e. reload the json data). I don't want to delve into the REDIS docker.
Thanks
