Quick Summary

The latest pebl cli now supports creating tunnels to your redis instances! Make sure to download the latest cli in order to easily gain access to your remote redis instances.

Longform

If you don't have redis running on pebl's cloud runtime yet, head over to the intro to redis guide to create one!

setup

Follow the setup guide to install the latest pebl cli. Make sure that the cli is properly installed by checking the output of pebl version:

$ pebl version
0.0.2

pebl tunnel

To create the tunnel, simply run the pebl tunnel command and supply the name of the redis instance you want to connect to:

$ pebl tunnel my-redis-1

However, if you have just one redis in our cloud runtime, you can omit the name argument:

$ pebl tunnel

This will automatically create a tunnel to your one redis instance.

redis-cli

The command allocates a local port that will proxy traffic between your local machine to the cloud redis instance. The command will output the local port and an example redis-cli command that you can invoke:

$ pebl tunnel
tunnel established at: 127.0.0.1:12345
use redis-cli to connect:
redis-cli -p 12345

Then simply invoke the redis-cli with the -p option to connect.

$ redis-cli -p 12345
127.0.0.1:12345> ping
PONG

And that's it! That should give a fast way to inspecting your redis instances. For more information on how to utilize redis on the pebl runtime, head over to the intro to redis guide.
