Question: How to connect to Redis server?

Answer

To connect to a Redis server, you can use the redis-cli command-line interface tool that comes with Redis.

Here are the steps to connect to a Redis server:

1. Open a terminal or command-line prompt.
2. Type redis-cli in the command line and press Enter. If Redis is running on the same machine, it will connect to the default Redis server localhost on port 6379.

redis-cli

3. If your Redis server is running on a different host or port, you can specify it using the -h and -p options respectively.

redis-cli -h redis.example.com -p 6380

4. If you need to authenticate to access the Redis server, you can use the -a option followed by the password.

redis-cli -h redis.example.com -p 6380 -a mypassword

After connecting to the Redis server, you can start executing Redis commands such as SET, GET, HSET, HGETALL, and many others.
