How to Disable Protected Mode for a Redis container using Docker?

“Protected mode,” a security feature of Redis, is turned on by default to block unwanted access to Redis instances. We must modify the Redis configuration in order to turn off the protected mode for a Redis container operating under Docker.

The steps are as follows:

1. Firstly, make a Redis-Docker container using the below command. This command creates a Redis container named “my-redis-container” and maps port 6379 from the container to the host system.

2. To modify the Redis configuration, we can get to the container’s shell. If the Redis container has a different name, substitute “my-redis-container” for it.

3. We can use a text editor to modify the Redis configuration file while we’re inside the container’s shell. We can use vi, for instance:

4. Find the line in the Redis configuration file that allows protected mode. It appears as follows: protected-mode yes. To turn off protected mode, change “yes” to “no”: protected-mode no

5. Exit the text editor after saving the modifications to the Redis configuration file.

6. Lastly, to apply the modifications, restart the Redis service.

Now that protected mode has been removed in the Redis container running in Docker, connections from hosts other than localhost are permitted.
