Change Redis TCP to Unix Socket

@JeffreyWay are you busy? if not do have an idea how to change TCP to Unix in Redis config in Laravel?

I don't where to add my custom config for redis on cache. this is on config/cache.php

'redis' => [
    'driver' => 'redis',
    'connection' => 'default', <<< where can I find this default connection config?
],

@Dower if you got nothing to do, gtfo of this forum lol

Default connect to redis will be defined in config/database.php.

It looks like the redis.conf file (probably /etc/redis/redis.conf) is where you can setup redis to listen on a TCP socket instead of just a Unix socket (if it's not already listening on both). Source: https://github.com/NodeRedis/node_redis/issues/204

I have a problem as well. A customer has a webhost that offers redis through a unix connection, but not tcp. Is there any way to make this working in Laravel without too much hassle?

And so I found out you just could add 'scheme' => 'unix' and 'path' => '/your/path' to the redis part of database.php.

good info can be found here and here

https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/redis

scheme [string - default: tcp]

Specifies the protocol used to communicate with an instance of Redis. Internally the client uses the connection class associated to the specified connection scheme. By default Predis supports tcp (TCP/IP), unix (UNIX domain sockets) or http (HTTP protocol through Webdis).

path [string - default: not set]

Path of the UNIX domain socket file used when connecting to Redis using UNIX domain sockets.
