In a previous post, “Storing Data In Redis With Command Line”, we looked at how to setup a Redis image for cache purposes, and how to connect to it, insert and retrieve data.

In this post we will look at how to use Another Redis Desktop Manager.

This is a smaller, nimbler tool than DataGrip as its only purpose is to connect to Redis, unlike DataGrip that is a general database manager.

We begin by downloading and installing to software.

Once launched, you should see the following screen.

1RedisDesktop

Click New Connection.

2NewConnection

You will get the following dialog to supply connection parameters.

3ConnectDialog

Go on and provide the parameters - host, port and password, as well as a connection name.

4Parameters

Once supplied, you can test the connection.

5Test

Click OK to complete.

You will now see your new connection.

6SetupComplete

Click on the connection.

7Connected

It will expand to show you the available database(s), in this case DB0 and your key.

If you click the key, you will see your data.

8RedisData

TLDR

Another Redis Desktop Manager is an excellent tool to view and manage your Redis data.

Happy hacking!
