Azure redis cache and Django setup


Am using django-redis in Django to add Azure redis cache, but I am getting issues with the connection, I added the keys password and the hostname and the port but no luck , I get this error :

django_redis.exceptions.ConnectionInterrupted: Redis ConnectionError: Error while reading from myhostname.net:6380 : (104, 'Connection reset by peer')

I tried reading existing answers but no luck.

This is what I have in my Django settings.py :

CACHES = {
    "default": {
        "BACKEND": "django_redis.cache.RedisCache",
        "LOCATION": os.getenv('REDIS_URL'),
        "OPTIONS": {
            "CLIENT_CLASS": "django_redis.client.DefaultClient",
            'SSL': True,
            "PASSWORD": os.getenv('REDIS_PASSWORD'),
        }
    }
}

Where REDIS_URL is like this :

REDIS_URL=rediss://myhostname.net:6380

and as well as REDIS_PASSWORD the password provided.

What could I be missing, am testing this on Digitalocean, I have an SSL activated.


Solution

  • "LOCATION":'rediss://:<Your password>@<name of the redis in azure>.redis.cache.windows.net:6380/0'
    

    The complete code:

    CACHES = {
        'default':{
                    'BACKEND':'django_redis.cache.RedisCache',
                    "LOCATION":'rediss://:<Your password>@<name of the redis in azure>.redis.cache.windows.net:6380/0',
                    'OPTION':{
                                'CLIENT_CLASS': 'django_redis.client.DefaultClient',
                                'PASSWORD':'<Your password>',
                                'SSL': True
                            }
                }
    }
    

    After starting the Django app, output:
