On your development server most of the time you expose database to connect remotely to edit, view, remove data. Similarly you can enable remote connection to you Redis instance on the server. You can do that with help of following configuration changes.

Step 1 : Edit Redis Configurations

sudo nano /etc/redis/redis.conf

Replace

bind 127.0.0.1

with

bind 0.0.0.0

Also, replace

protected-mode yes

with

protected-mode no

Step 2 : Allow traffic to Redis port

If you are using default Redis port which is 6379, use following commands directly else replace it with your port number

sudo ufw allow 6379
sudo ufw allow 6379/tcp

Step 3 : Restart Redis

sudo systemctl stop redis
sudo systemctl start redis

DONE!
