Redis - Connect with RedisInsight
Connect to your Public Cloud Databases for Redis using RedisInsight
Last updated 24th March 2022
Objective
Public Cloud Databases allow you to focus on building and deploying cloud applications while OVHcloud takes care of the database infrastructure and maintenance in operational conditions.
This guide explains how to connect to a Redis database instance with the free GUI: RedisInsight.
Requirements
- Access to the OVHcloud Control Panel
- A Public Cloud project in your OVHcloud account
- A Redis database running on your OVHcloud Public Cloud Databases (this guide can help you to meet this requirement)
- Configure your Redis instance to accept incoming connections
- A RedisInsight stable version installed and public network connectivity (Internet). This guide was made in RedisInsight 1.11.1
Concept
A Redis instance can be managed through multiple ways. One of the easiest, yet powerful, is to use a Command Line Interface (CLI), as shown in our guide: Redis - Connect with CLI or by using programming languages, such as PHP.
Another way is to interact directly using the GUI: RedisInsight.
In order to do so, we will need to install RedisInsight, then configure our Public Cloud Databases for Redis instances to accept incoming connections, and finally configure RedisInsight.
Instructions
