Error when connecting to redis docker container - docker

Question

I have an error where I cannot connect from my Go application to my redis container. It was working for at least 2 weeks, until I restarted my pc, I don't see what could have changed, and I ensured that no other containers or processes are using the same 6379 port.
My error:
panic: failed to load incr lua script: EOF
goroutine 1 [running]:
code/website.connectToRedisLimiterDatabase(0x0, 0x0)
I can connect into the redis container via my cli:
//exec inside
docker exec -it container-name redis-cli
// set value
set name "test"
// get value
get name
// shows test
Here is where I get the error in my go code:
redisLimiter "github.com/ulule/limiter/v3/drivers/store/redis"
redisSessions "github.com/rbcervilla/redisstore/v8"
// RedisLimiterInstance contains the Redis limiter client and store objects
type RedisLimiterInstance struct {
Client redisLimiter.Client
Store limiter.Store
}
// RedisSessionInstance contains the Redis session client and store objects
type RedisSessionInstance struct {
Client *redis.Client
Store *redisSessions.RedisStore
}
var redisLimiterInstance RedisLimiterInstance
var redisSessionInstance RedisSessionInstance
func connectToRedisLimiterDatabase() error {
redisLimiterClient := redis.NewClient(&redis.Options{
Addr: "localhost:6379",
Password: "", // no password set
DB: 0, // use default DB
})
store, err := redisLimiter.NewStoreWithOptions(redisLimiterClient, limiter.StoreOptions{
Prefix: "rate_limiter_",
MaxRetry: 3,
})
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
// panic: failed to load incr lua script: EOF
redisLimiterInstance = RedisLimiterInstance{
Client: redisLimiterClient,
Store: store,
}
return nil
}
func connectToRedisSessionDatabase() error {
redisSessionClient := redis.NewClient(&redis.Options{
Addr: "localhost:6379",
Password: "", // no password set
DB: 0, // use default DB
})
// New default RedisStore
store, err := redisSessions.NewRedisStore(context.Background(), redisSessionClient)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal("failed to create redis store: ", err)
}
store.KeyPrefix("session_")
store.Options(sessions.Options{
Path: "/",
MaxAge: 86400 * 7,
HttpOnly: false,
})
redisSessionInstance = RedisSessionInstance{
Client: redisSessionClient,
Store: store,
}
return nil
}
Via the docker desktop the container shows:
Configuration loaded
Running mode=standalone, port=6379.
Server initialized
Ready to accept connections
My conf file is just:
bind 127.0.0.1
port 6379
and the docker file itself is:
FROM redis:6.0.9
COPY redis.conf /usr/local/etc/redis/redis.conf
CMD [ "redis-server", "/usr/local/etc/redis/redis.conf" ]
Any thoughts?

Binding to the address 127.0.0.1 in the redis container would only allow connections from within the container. Either remove the line or bind to 0.0.0.0 so redis can bind to all interfaces instead of just the loopback.
