Use redis as a container in Azure Web App Service

Question

I've been trying for a week now to deploy a Redis Container as a Azure Web App Service, but I can't manage to connect to it, after a few tries some of the logs I got are listed bellow:

• The handshake failed due to an unexpected packet format redis
• Protocol error, got "H" as reply type byte. Please report this.
• Redis error Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND https://*************.azurewebsites.net

Some of the things I tried:

• Different doors (80, 6379, random ones I saw in logs)
• Different TLS versions
• Force https connection

Does anyone of you know if it's possible to do it? I know there's Azure Redis but it's too pricey for a test.

Thanks alot

Answer 1

just figured out.

You actually have to deploy your container image using container instances, pointing the port 6379/TCP.

I did it and it worked fine.
