Where is the config for redis-cli?

  • 772

I have installed redis client (without the server) on one of my servers:

sudo apt install redis-tools

I would like to use redis-cli to connect to a central server where redis is installed.

But because I didn't install the server, there is no config file available at this path:

/etc/redis/redis.conf

Is there a way to create the config, so I don't have to use -h every time?

    As I know creating the server's config file on your machine (the server running client tools) doesn't do anything.

    Instead of using:

    redis-cli -h host -p port -a password

    Create an alias:

    alais rediscli='redis-cli -h host -p port -a password'

    Add it to your .bash_aliases or .bashrc to make it permanent:

    echo "alais rediscli='redis-cli -h host -p port -a password'" >> .bash_aliases

    .bash_aliases will get sourced automatically by .bashrc.

    No you only have to run:

    rediscli
