redis-py: redis exceptions Connection Error: Connection closed by server

Here is an exception:

I run latest version of redis in container:

redis: image: redis:latest container_name: redis ports: - 6379:6379 volumes: - ./config/redis.conf:/redis.conf command: [ “redis-server”, “/redis.conf” ]

The application is written in Python ver 3.9

`import redis

pool = redis.ConnectionPool(host=‘localhost’, port=6379, db=0) r = redis.Redis(connection_pool=pool)

r.set(‘foo’, ‘bar’) value = r.get(‘foo’) print(value)`

As you see it is very basic. I had more complicated code that I tried to run at the beginning where I communicated with redis in multithread. Later this code caused a problem so that I am not able even to start with the above simple code no matter what I do: restart the computer, restart container, reinstall redis module. nothing helps I send commands in redis cli and it works. But python throws an exception:

Please help me stay with redis!

I found the problem and it made me embarrassed. The bind IP connection definition was wrong, redis was bound to IP of local host instead of container IP. The second I changed it code started running properly.

I have the same issue with two virtual machines. I run various skripts on both machines using redis and the only connection that throws this error (quite often) is the one reading binary data from the redis database.

For those from google, maybe --tls flag (or rediss:// with double s) is missing from your redis-cli command.

Hey @Alexander770 , I’m facing the same issue (I think), can you share the conf file you used?
