Redis GUI Redis-commander working on Docker – ERROR: Status: reconnecting

I have installed Redis GUI redis-commander by using https://github.com/joeferner/redis-commander

Redis running on localhost:6379 as a container at docker.

This says if I run redis on localhost:6379, all I need to get started is;

docker run –rm –name redis-commander -d -p 8081:8081 ghcr.io/joeferner/redis-commander:latest

redis-commander

But I encountered with this problem… Is there anyone who got this error and found a solution for this ??

    There are some things you have to take into account.

    • Redis commander is running inside a container so localhost no longer points to your laptop/desktop/developing machine/server. It points to the container itself where no redis is running. So it will never connect. You need to point to the other container.

    • For this, you should be using some-redis (the name of the container) instead of localhost. In Redis Commander click more and add server to add a new connection

    • But this will not work unless both containers are running inside the same network.

    You need to create first a new docker network

    docker network create redis

    And then run your containers using this parameter --network=redis

    In my case, the name of database "container_name" was different in "REDIS_HOSTS" parameter:

    Services:

    db:
    container_name: redis_db

    redis-commander:
    environment:
    – REDIS_HOSTS=local:redis_db:6379
