Enable remote Redis connection

Posted on January 13, 2018

Hi,

I’m trying to expose a Redis service over the web using a droplet, for now I’m trying to get it to work regardless of any security features.

I’ve followed this tutorial, and everything does work fine locally. When trying to expose the service, I :

  • Replaced bind 127.0.0.1 with bind 0.0.0.0 in the /etc/redis/redis.conf file, the line does not have a leading # nor space,
  • Replaced protected-mode yes with protected-mode no in this same file,
  • Allowed all traffic to port 6379 using ufw allow 6379 and ufw allow 6379/tcp

But I can’t get it to work. When checking internally using systemctl status redis I see CGroup: [...] /usr/local/bin/redis-server 127.0.0.1 and using redis-cli will show 127.0.0.1>. I thus think that Redis doesn’t correctly bind to 0.0.0.0 and am wondering why.

Would you guys know of any possible conflicts or errors ?

Thanks
