[REDIS] How to access from AWS?

1

hey there,
How can we access the redis instance from AWS? No docs on this, is it possible?

2

In case you weren’t aware, there’s docs on accessing RDS: Connect fly wireguard to external server? - #2 by ajsharp

I’d imagine some similar involved setup would be required to access Redis on AWS.

This is a bit tricky to do now. Are you already using your Redis already from Fly.io VMs?

4

Yes! Redis is working great from within Fly.

5

Great :smiley: So you need access to the same database from AWS. Would you also need write access from there?

6

Ya, I’ve worked around it w Postgres but ideally we’d be able to consider using Redis for work across providers.

7

so @jsierles this isn’t possible w redis created on Fly?

It’s not possible right now. It’s something we’re discussing internally, though. Initial thoughts would be to allocate an IP for the database and require TLS.

Edit: It should possible for now using an approach like @ignoramous mentions: hooking up a Wireguard peer.
