RedisInsight on Docker and Redis on Docker: Could not connect: Error 99 connecting to localhost:6379. Cannot assign requested address

Based on this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrFeRwJjWHI , I tried running Redis in Docker.

File docker-compose.yml

version: "3.8"

services:
  redis:
    image: redis
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
    ports:
      - 6379:6379

docker pull redis
docker-compose up
docker-compose up -d
docker container ls
telnet localhost 6379

Telnet, type PING then press Enter key (you will not see text), then see result: PONG. Type quit to exit.

D:docker>docker-compose stop redis
Stopping docker_redis_1 ... done

D:docker>

See what is running

docker container ls

You will see, docker redis was stoped.

docker image prune -a
docker-compose up

Docker RedisInsight

docker run -v redisinsight:/db -p 8001:8001 redislabs/redisinsight:latest

Wait about 6 minutes (at internet speed at 22:30) for downloading, unzip, install, starting.

go to: http://localhost:8001/ (auto open web browser). Health check for RedisInsight http://localhost:8001/healthcheck/ is OK.

How to connect RedisInsight with Redis without error?

Update: This is my host file, seemly have problem at here (IP 127.0.0.1 for Kubernetes, really I don’t know about Kubernetes, I am learning it.), but I don’t know how to fix.

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.

# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

    RedisInsight are trying to connect to container’s localhost. Try typing 127.0.0.1 into Host field.

    If file host has been changed like the updated information in question, use 192.168.1.44 .

    For your containers to access each other you should first connect them to same network.

    docker network create redis
docker network connect redis elastic_diffie
docker network connect redis docker_redis_1

    After that open RedisInsight UI and write docker_redis_1 to your Hostand keep the port same. You should be able to connect to your redis container.

    Since you haven’t mentioned any network for the containers, they are conneted to the default bridge network. learn more

    To get container IP address

    Type in your terminal

    # Check container network IP address

docker container inspect -f "{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}" <container name>

    Use the IP address in: http://localhost:8001/ (RedisInsight).

    or

    (Not Recommended) Type the IP address of your HOST machine will solve the problem

    Use ipconfig or ifconfig based on your OS to get your IP

    Using this setup in docker-compose.yml

    version: '3.7'

    volumes:
      - 'redis_data:/data:rw'
    healthcheck:
      test: redis-cli ping
      interval: 3s
      timeout: 5s
      retries: 5

  redisinsight:
    image: 'redislabs/redisinsight:latest'

    you must put your Ip by ipconfig instead of localhost
