Cannot connect managed Redis via redli - no such host

Posted on October 24, 2019

I’ve tried to create multiple managed redis databases in multiple regions. All have the same issue.

I’m using redli, the recommended CLI for redis.

Whenever I try the connection string as provided in “Connection details - flags”, I keep seeing the following error

2019/10/24 15:17:15 Dial dial tcp: lookup db-redis-nyc1-xxxxxxxx.db.ondigitalocean.com: no such host

If do nslookup to the database host, it always returns no records. In fact if I do nslookup db.ondigitalocean.com, it returns

Server:         127.0.0.53
Address:        127.0.0.53#53

Non-authoritative answer:
*** Can't find db.ondigitalocean.com: No answer

Any ideas? Seems like for some reason I can’t get any DNS records connecting the DB host to the server.
