I cannot connect to my local redis through my go project.

I am starting redis using docker compose like so:

  redis:
    image: redis:6.2.3-alpine
    platform: linux/x86_64
    ports:
      - 6379:6379

I’m trying to connect to this in my go project like this:

func connect()*RedisConnection {
    opts := &redis.Options{
        Addr:     "localhost:6379",
        Password: "",
        DB:       0,
    }
    opts.TLSConfig = &tls.Config{
        InsecureSkipVerify: true,
    }

    client := redis.NewClient(opts)
    opts.OnConnect = func(ctx context.Context, cn *redis.Conn) error {
        log.Info().Msgf("connected to redis..")
        return nil
    }
    if err := client.Ping(ctx).Err(); err != nil {
        log.Info().Msgf(err.Error())
    }

    return &RedisConnection{
        redisClient: client,
    }

However this constantly fails and I get a “context deadline exceeded error”.

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong?
