configure redis auth on sidekiq

Question

I think I am missing something since I couldn't find in the docs how to write the username and password for the redis instance to use with sidekiq..

Is there a way to do this? Or is it through ENV vars?

Answer 1

Sidekiq passes unrecognized redis options directly to the Redis driver:

config.redis = { password: 'bar' }

And redis does not have the concept of users so there's only password.
