When you install a Redis server, it usually comes packaged with redis-cli. Step 1 - Installing Stunnel and redis-cli To provision a DigitalOcean Managed Redis Database, follow our Managed Redis product documentation. The steps outlined in this tutorial were tested on a DigitalOcean Managed Redis Database, though they should generally work for managed databases from any cloud provider. To set this up, follow our initial server setup guide for Ubuntu 18.04. This server should have a non-root user with administrative privileges and a firewall configured with ufw.
In this guide, we will walk through installing and configuring stunnel so you can connect to a managed Redis instance over TLS with redis-cli. Stunnel is an open-source proxy used to create secure tunnels, allowing you to communicate with other machines over TLS.
One way to establish a secure connection to a managed Redis instance is to create a tunnel that uses the TLS protocol. This means that without further configuration, redis-cli is not a secure way to connect to a remote Redis server. Redis-cli, the Redis command line interface, doesn’t natively support connections over TLS, a cryptographic protocol that allows for secure communications over a network. However, any time you make a connection to a remote database server, you run the risk of malicious actors sniffing the sensitive information you send to it. A managed Redis instance can provide benefits like high availability and automated updates.
