I'm getting a "RedisClient::ReadTimeoutError" when trying to connect to AWS Redis

[daveomcd]

My apologies if this is the wrong location to post this. Thought it made more sense than posting in "Issues."

I'm on ruby 3.2.0, sidekiq 7.0.6, and rails 7.0.2.

I am trying to connect my application to my redis cluster on AWS. I have set my REDIS_URL with a password. I'm currently getting this ReadTimeoutError.

bundle exec sidekiq -C config/sidekiq.yml -e production
2023-03-08T16:20:17.316Z pid=2388 tid=5rg INFO: Sidekiq 7.0.6 connecting to Redis with options {:size=>5, :pool_name=>"internal", :url=>"redis://:REDACTED@master.my-app-aws-redis-cluster.vxrtzy.use1.cache.amazonaws.com:6379/1"}
RedisClient::ReadTimeoutError

If I try the following though to test the information it seems to work.

redis-cli -h master.bane-aws-redis-cluster.vxrtzy.use1.cache.amazonaws.com -p 6379 -a '[REDACTED]' --tls ping
Warning: Using a password with '-a' or '-u' option on the command line interface may not be safe.
PONG

I have noticed I need the --tls flag there to get a PONG. I've tried to figure out how to add that to my Rails application but so far haven't been able to get it to work. Here's what is currently in my initializers/sidekiq.rb file.

schedule_file = "config/schedule.yml"

if File.exist?(schedule_file) && Sidekiq.server?
  Sidekiq::Cron::Job.load_from_hash YAML.load_file(schedule_file)
end

Sidekiq.configure_server do |config|
  config.redis = { ssl_params: { verify_mode: OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE } }
end

Sidekiq.configure_client do |config|
  config.redis = { ssl_params: { verify_mode: OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE } }
end

Is anyone able to help point me in a direction to trouble shoot this further or perhaps identify the issue? Thanks for your time.

I think you need to use the “rediss” protocol to have your URL automatically activate TLS.
