How to set up a remote connection with Redis?

To set up a Redis server for remote connections, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Open the Redis configuration file: Locate the redis.conf file on the Redis server and open it. Typically, this file is found in the etc folder within the Redis installation directory.
  2. Locate and modify the bind IP address: Find the bind directive in the configuration file and change its value to the IP address of the Redis server. By default, the value of this directive is 127.0.0.1, which means only local connections are allowed. If you want to allow all IP connections, you can set the value to 0.0.0.0.
  3. Change the listening port (optional): If you want to modify the listening port of the Redis server, you can locate and modify the value of the “port” command. By default, the Redis server listens on port 6379.
  4. Save and close the configuration file: Save the changes made to the configuration file and close the file.
  5. Restart the Redis server: Restart the Redis server to apply configuration changes.

After completing the above steps, you should be able to connect to the remote Redis server using a Redis client.
