connecting to redis over the private network
Project ID: d0b3dc19-02c9-4290-bf51-904f50b320a7
Hey y'all, having trouble connecting my nodejs app using IORedis to railway's redis instance.
Getting this error message:
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:6379
at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (node:net:1555:16) {
errno: -111,
code: 'ECONNREFUSED',
syscall: 'connect',
address: '127.0.0.1',
port: 6379
}
My connection string is formatted like so:
connection = new IORedis('redis://default:password@name.railway.internal:6379?family=6');
Any help?

127.0.0.1:6379 is the default host:port ioredis will use.
please show screenshots of codemight be a dumb question, but do i need to blur out the passkey next to default: when sending screenshots?
you should be using environment variables, your screenshot should not include anything sensitive
i'm trying to use redis with bullmq, if that helps
show me what you have for your service variables please
so what is this imaginary
RAILWAY_KEY variable?
dont know where you got that from, you want to use REDIS_PRIVATE_URLthat's comin from my .env in my node process, i tried to use REDIS_PRIVATE_URL and that didn't work
what error did you get when you used the proper
REDIS_PRIVATE_URL variable?give me a sec, gonna redeploy real quick
