Unable to start Sidekiq on my local machine: Error connecting to Redis on redis:6379 (SocketError)

I have Redis running from a Rails app but when I try to start Sidekiq (bundle exec sidekiq), I am getting

INFO: Booting Sidekiq 6.0.4 with redis options {:url=>"redis://redis:6379/0", :id=>"Sidekiq-server-PID-49487"}
Error connecting to Redis on redis:6379 (SocketError)

I looked at my redis.conf file and I’m sure I haven’t changed any of the defaults. What else could I check for?

sidekiq (6.0.4)
rails (6.0.2.1)
redis (4.1.3)

    Turns out I was using the wrong Redis address in my Rails .env file as it was configured for Docker. Sidekiq was unable to find the right Redis port.

    Changed from redis://redis:6379/0 to redis:6379/0.

    The redis hostname doesn’t exist (use localhost?) or you haven’t started Redis.
