Connect using RedisInsight for Public Cloud Databases for Valkey

Objective

Public Cloud Databases allow you to focus on building and deploying cloud applications while OVHcloud takes care of the database infrastructure and maintenance in operational conditions.

This guide explains how to connect to a Valkey service with the free GUI: RedisInsight.

Requirements

• Access to the OVHcloud Control Panel
• A Valkey service project in your OVHcloud account
• A Valkey service running on your OVHcloud Public Cloud Databases (this guide can help you to meet this requirement)
• Configure your Valkey service to accept incoming connections
• A RedisInsight stable version installed and public network connectivity (Internet). This guide was made in RedisInsight 1.11.1

Concept

A Valkey service can be managed through multiple ways. One of the easiest, yet powerful, is to use a Command Line Interface (CLI), as shown in our guide: Connect with CLI or by using programming languages, such as PHP.

Another way is to interact directly using the GUI: RedisInsight.

In order to do so, we will need to install RedisInsight, then configure our Public Cloud Databases for Valkey services to accept incoming connections, and finally configure RedisInsight.
