If you are trying to purchase Managed Redis Database, from companies like digitalocean, then, you would get access to those Redis servers, only over TLS\/SSL support. Unfortunately, by default redis-cli does not ship with TLS support, hence, you need to either use Tunnel to access redis instance through redis-cli or use different tool for your purpose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Access Your Redis Instance using Python<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are developing your application using python, and using a managed redis database, then, you would have to make the redis connection over TLS\/SSL. This can be done by setting the ‘SSL’ to True, in the Redis constructor. Here is an example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you can see, I have set the ssl to True at the end, to set the connection over TLS\/SSL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Access Your Redis from Command Line using Redli<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to have access to your redis instance through a command line tool, then using redli is my first line choice. Configuring stunnel with redis-cli is also possible, but it would be another topic of discussion here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s see, how can we install redli:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Redli is a tool developed by IBM with TLS\/SSL support. It is written in Golang. You may download a version for Linux from the IBMCloud Github repo and start using it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, you may use redli to connect to your Redis database with TLS enabled as following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n See how ‘–tls’ is enabled to access redis over TLS here.
