redis doesn't work

[efsjouw]

Description:

redis doesnt appear to work, it appears unreachable or refuses connection?

using Windows / WSL / Docker Desktop setup with Laravel 9.

Expected Behavior:

connect to redis at localhost:6379

Context information:

Not much to show I just use

docker-compose up redis

and then it is not available at http://localhost:6379/

In Laravel the error "Connection refused" is shown

I have on .env

REDIS_HOST=redis
REDIS_PASSWORD=null
REDIS_PORT=6379

And it works, but for localhost:6379, 127.0.0.1:6379 feel free to make a PR

Also

Lines 5 to 13 in 6c8cb6d

	## For security settings uncomment, make the dir, copy conf, and also start with the conf, to use it
	#RUN mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/redis
	#COPY redis.conf /usr/local/etc/redis/redis.conf
	VOLUME /data
	EXPOSE 6379
	#CMD ["redis-server", "/usr/local/etc/redis/redis.conf"]

.env file (Laradock), line 422:

REDIS_PASSWORD=secret_redis

.env (Laravel)
REDIS_HOST=redis
REDIS_PASSWORD=secret_redis
REDIS_PORT=6379

not a bug, just a small annoyance after .env requirements change in the meantime

whoever stumbles upon this issue - please remember to check REDIS_PASSWORD=secret_redis line in .env file

closing this issue

This is definitely a bug, you cannot use redis without password due to docker-compose.yml

command: --requirepass ${REDIS_PASSWORD}

[makowskid]

Why would you want to use Redis without a password?
There's a solution for it now, and it's setting the default Laradock password inside .env.
REDIS_PASSWORD=secret_redis

Doesn't it solve your issue?
