For those who use docker-compose  it   s really easy to set a password without any config file like redis conf  Here   s how you would normally use the official Redis image  redis      image   redis 4-alpine      ports        -  6379 6379   And here   s all you need to change to set a custom password    redis      image   redis 4-alpine      command  redis-server --requirepass yourpassword     ports        -  6379 6379   Everything will start up as normal and your Redis server will be protected by a password  For details  this blog post seems to support the idea

To set the password  edit your redis conf file  find this line     requirepass foobared   Then uncomment it and change foobared to your password   Make sure you choose something pretty long  32 characters or so would probably be good  it s easy for an outside user to guess upwards of 150k passwords a second  as the notes in the config file mention   To authenticate with your new password using predis  the syntax you have shown is correct   Just add password as one of the connection parameters   To shut down redis    check in your config file for the pidfile setting  it will probably be   pidfile  var run redis pid   From the command line  run   cat  var run redis pid   That will give you the process id of the running server  then just kill the process using that pid    kill 3832   Update  I also wanted to add  you could also make the  etc init d redis-server stop you re used to work on your live server   All those files in  etc init d  are just shell scripts  take the redis-server script off your local server  and copy it to the live server in the same location  and then just look what it does with vi or whatever you like to use  you may need to modify some paths and such  but it should be pretty simple

i couldnt find though what i should add exactly to the configuration   file to set up the password    Configuration file should be located at  etc redis redis conf and password can be set up in SECURITY section which should be located between REPLICATION and LIMITS section  Password setup is done using the requirepass directive  For more information try to look at AUTH command description

you can also use following command on client  cmd    config set requirepass p ss 12E45  above command will set p ss 12E45 as a redis server password

For that  you need to update the redis configuration file By default  there is no any password for redis   01  open redis configuration file  sudo vi  etc redis redis conf   find requirepass field under SECURITY section and uncomment that field Then set your password instead of  foobared     requirepass foobared   It should be like   requirepass YOUR PASSWORD   Then restart redis and start redis-cli   If you need to check whether you have set the password correctly  you can run below commads in redis-cli   sithara sithara-X555UJ     redis-cli 127 0 0 1 6379 gt  set key1 18  error  NOAUTH Authentication required  127 0 0 1 6379 gt  auth admin OK 127 0 0 1 6379 gt  get key1  nil  127 0 0 1 6379 gt  exit   sithara sithara-X555UJ     redis-cli 127 0 0 1 6379 gt  set key1 18  error  NOAUTH Authentication required  127 0 0 1 6379 gt  auth admin OK 127 0 0 1 6379 gt  set key2 check OK 127 0 0 1 6379 gt  get key2  check  127 0 0 1 6379 gt  get key1  nil  127 0 0 1 6379 gt  set key1 20 OK 127 0 0 1 6379 gt  get key1  20  127 0 0 1 6379 gt  exit
