Can't configure reds to use a redis server other then localhost

[dinedal]

This is needed to use HEAD of kue in environments where redis doesn't live on the same machine.

right right. We should lazy-create the reds connection in Kue, then you can override exports.createClient

[gtramontina]

Yep. You can do something like:

var client = redis.createClient(port, host);
client.auth(password, function() {
reds.client = client; // <- This is where you specify which client reds will use.
var search = reds.createSearch('namespace');
...
});

Correct, @visionmedia?

[dinedal]

@gtramontina Yes, that works great when using reds without kue, perhaps this issue belongs on kue's tracker then? The connection for reds is hardcoded to be local host in kue.

[tj]

yeah we have this issue open in kue

Maybe @gtramontina sample could go in the Readme documentation.
