Run Redis on Windows using Vagrant

How do I run Redis on Windows for my Development?

After reading through couple of articles and threads on stackoverflow I figured out the easiest way is to use install Redis on Vagrant and use port forwarding to connect to Redis from Windows.

Here the steps required

1. Download and Install Vagrant.
2. Install Redis on Vagrant
1. Add necessary repos to Ubuntu
   
   echo "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise main universe" > /etc/apt/sources.list
2. Install Redis
   
   apt-get update
   apt-get -y install redis-server
3. Configure Redis
   
   Verify redis installation
   
   
   
   in order to connect from windows
   $ vi /etc/redis/redis.conf
   
   Comment "bind 127.0.0.1"
4. Enable Port Forwarding in Vagrant
   Add the port forwarding configuration to the Vagrant file under the Vagrant\bin folder in windows.
   
   config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 6379, host: 6379 # redis port forwading
5. Enable firewall ports in windows
   
   Add rules to the windows firewall to enable port 6379 for Redis
   
   
   netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Redis Port 6379" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=6379
   netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Redis Port 6379" dir=out action=allow protocol=TCP localport=6379
6. Connect to Redis using the Redis Desktop Manager
