Deploying channels with azure cache for redis as host - redis.exceptions.ConnectionError: Error while reading from socket: (104, 'Connection reset by peer')

redis.exceptions.ConnectionError: Error while reading from socket: (104, 'Connection reset by peer')

• OS used is Ubuntu
• packages used
  channels-redis==3.3.1
  hiredis==2.0.0
  redis==2.10.6
  channels==3.0.4
  channels-redis==3.3.1
  When running with the localhost it runs smoothly, but when I try to use azure cache for redis which is password protected, it throws the below error
  redis.exceptions.ConnectionError: Error while reading from socket: (104, 'Connection reset by peer')
  channel configuration in settings.py
  CHANNEL_LAYERS = { 'default': { 'BACKEND': 'channels_redis.core.RedisChannelLayer', 'CONFIG': { "hosts": [("redis://:mypassword@mysite.redis.cache.windows.net:6380/0")], }, }, }

It would mean a lot, if anyone can provide with a source or docs that could be helpful

@vishwakarma0 Grrr. Sorry, no idea... — it's an Azure Redis connection issue.

Do you need to use the 'rediss://...' scheme for SSL maybe? 🤔

This isn't something we can help you with here I'm afraid. Good luck!

I dont have words to thanks for this answer, I was trying to resolve this issue from months and just adding 's' in front of redis solved it

BIG THANKS

Hey @carltongibson
Thanks a lot, it worked like a charm, all it needed was rediss in the url instead of redis.

Well there you are. 💃

Hi @vishwakarma0
I do not really know how to contact you. But it seems like I have a similar problem. I want to use django channels layer for a WebSocket connection. Seems like I do everything like you did (after the redis -> rediss think) but somehow I walways get "WebSocket rejected" after "Websocket handshake"... Do you have any example or method to contact you?
Best regards
