Deploying Django channel with redis

[priten]

Please explain to me how to Deploy the Django channel project which uses Redis on render.
my dough is how should i set hosts value in settings.py if i want to use redis free instance from render. i am new to these topic so if someone have link to full tutorial or blog, it will be very helpful
CHANNEL_LAYERS={
‘default’:{
‘BACKEND’:‘channels_redis.core.RedisChannelLayer’,
‘CONFIG’:{
‘hosts’:[(‘127.0.0.1’,6379)]
}
}
}

Hi,

The Redis host would not be on 127.0.0.1, you’ll need to use the connection details of your Redis instance.

This is covered in the docs here: https://docs.render.com/redis#connecting-to-your-redis-from-services-on-render

Thank you for your quick reply,

for example
if my Redis instance on render has the service address: redis://red-c6na6rjru51t7lilgs3g:6379 then i should have
CHANNEL_LAYERS={
‘default’:{
‘BACKEND’:‘channels_redis.core.RedisChannelLayer’,
‘CONFIG’:{
‘hosts’:[(redis://red-c6na6rjru51t7lilgs3g:6379)]
}
}
} in my Django setting.py file, am I right?

Maybe refer to the Django channels_redis repo for the correct syntax: https://github.com/django/channels_redis

That is an internal Redis URL so would only work if being called from another Render service in the same account and region.
