Strapi doesn’t have connector for redis.

If you are looking something for cache this is recommended GitHub - patrixr/strapi-middleware-cache: A cache middleware for https://strapi.io

@jamir, I know it’s not related to your question, but could you help me setup redis as the main database connection? i’m just starting with strapi and the provided strapi-hook-redis has no docs :frowning:

you have to create a network and add each container to that network, then you can refer to each container by its name instead 127.0.0.1, because 127.0.0.1 refers to localhost… and each container has their own dynamic ip address… To solve this… you can address them by container name http://continer-name:6379

best of luck
