Open Redis port for remote connections

Question

I can ping pong Redis on the server:

# redis-cli ping
PONG

But remotely, I got problems:

$ src/redis-cli -h REMOTE.IP ping
         


        

Answer 1

A quick note that doing this without further securing your Redis server is not a good idea as it can leave you open to attack. Be sure to also implement AUTH or otherwise secure that. See http://redis.io/topics/security for details.
