🔌 Connecting to Redis​

Connecting to Redis is the first step to start storing data. Using the redis gem, you can instantiate a client that points to your local or remote server. Here's how to establish a basic connection.

require 'redis'

# Connect to local Redis server on default port
redis = Redis.new(host: "127.0.0.1", port: 6379)

# Test connection
redis.ping # => "PONG"
