I'm posting this issue here because I'm trying to follow this instruction and it's not working. If this issue does not rightly belong here, could someone please direct me to the right place. Much appreciation for your assistance and apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Unable to follow instruction as connection to https://packages.redis.io are always refused.

curl -fsSL https://packages.redis.io/gpg > /tmp/redis.key

This failed with the following message: curl: (7) Failed to connect to packages.redis.io port 443: Connection refused

[Redis]
name=Redis
baseurl=http://packages.redis.io/rpm/rockylinux9
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1

Setting up /etc/yum.repos.d/redis.repo with the above content and running yum repolist --verbose fails on Redis with the following error

Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'Redis':
  - Curl error (7): Couldn't connect to server for http://packages.redis.io/rpm/rockylinux9/repodata/repomd.xml [Failed to connect to packages.redis.io port 80: Connection refused]
Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'Redis': Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried

Hitting http://packages.redis.io/rpm/rockylinux9 from browser returns the an access denied error.

From the documentation I got the impression that this was for the open source version and I have not found any instructions for obtaining authentications.

Hi @raphaelNguyen. Thank you for reaching out. I'm sorry you're having issues installing Redis Open Source 8. I did a test install on a GCP Rocky Linux 9 VM just a few minutes ago and it was successful. I also ran the yum repolist ... command and it also succeeded. See attached yum repolist screenshot. I tried to attach a small movie of my installation, but that's not permitted here, so I attached two screenshots. Maybe the issue was just intermittent? Have you tried again since opening this issue? What I suggest is that you inquire on our Discord channel. There are lots of friendly people there who might be able to assist.

Thank you @dwdougherty for your prompt response. I attempted again today and still had the same issues.

I will inquire about this further on the provided discord server. Thanks for your time.
