What is the redis host set to in your .env file? It needs to be the name of the service that is running redis. In this case redis
REDIS_HOST=redis

Redis: Connection Refused
I have a project based on this github repo https://github.com/aschmelyun/docker-compose-laravel
Everything is in standard configuration but when I attempt to run a redis command with the redis facade I get connection refused.
I have also tried debugging in tinker. The repo has a artisan container so I run tinker from that which is a part of my docker network
Psy Shell v0.11.7 (PHP 8.1.8 — cli) by Justin Hileman
>>> \Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redis::get('test');
RedisException with message 'Connection refused'
I am able to connect to the redis server and run commands from my desktop redis client so I know that the server itself is working fine.
Any ideas as to why this isn't working?

@Sinnbeck yes it is set to redis
...
REDIS_HOST=redis
REDIS_PORT=6379
...

@CarbonNanotubes Check if the container is running by running docker ps and find the redis container. It should be running a long time :) Just in case there is a redis service on your pc, that makes it seem like its working locally.

And try clearing cache
php artisan config:clear

h1-http_redis_1 docker-entrypoint.sh redis ... Up (healthy) 0.0.0.0:6379->6379/tcp,:::6379->6379/tcp
To ensure I am connecting to the correct server I brought my containers down and mapped port 6600 to redis
redis:
image: redis:alpine
restart: unless-stopped
ports:
- 6600:6379
healthcheck:
test: ["CMD", "redis-cli", "ping"]
retries: 3
timeout: 5s
networks:
- mynetwork
I was able to use my desktop client to connect to the server on port 6600

I also tried creating a route and just calling redis without the laravel facade and it connects
Route::get('redis', function () {
$redis = new \Redis();
try {
$redis->connect('redis', 6379);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
var_dump($e->getMessage());
die;
}
});
So the issue is something to do with Laravel's Redis configuration

@CarbonNanotubes did you try clearing cache like I suggested earlier?

I figured out the issue. Long story short I had an old copy of the project within my vscode workspace and I was editing the wrong .env file. I noticed this opened the right one and the host was not set correctly.
Imma just gonna go give myself a toilet swirly for being such an idiot, then I'll come back and delete that old code lol
