I’m having some trouble here trying to remotely connect to my local Homestead Redis server. I’m using both commandline (redis-cli) and RDM.
I’m able to connect with Postgresql with PgAdmin in this box, but Redis returns with:
Could not connect to Redis at 127.0.0.1:63790: Connection refused
My Redis config file “bind” directive is commented, so it should accept connections from all sources. I also tried to stop Redis and start it again, manually pointing to the config file, but without success.
In my Homestead.yaml config file, Redis port was not forwarded by default. According to Homestead’s Documentation, I can set port forwarding like this:
ports: - send: 63790 to: 6379 protocol: udp
Well, I also tried that and restarted the server, but it didn’t work.
Am I missing something?

Answer
For Homestead 0.4 above. Due to redis security setting, it bind only for 127.0.0.1
In this case, you need to bind extra IP address.
- SSH to you server.
$sudo vi /etc/redis/redis.conf
Scroll to the line bind 127.0.0.1
add extra IP address 192.168.10.10, it will look like this
bind 127.0.0.1 192.168.10.10
save and exit.
- Restart redis server and exit your server.
$sudo /etc/init.d/redis-server restart
That’s all, you should be able connect to your Homestead redis from your host.
