Hi all :wave: I’m setting up a fleet instance on <http://fly.io|fly.io> but running into issues with fleet’s connection to my redis server:

```Failed to start: initialize Redis: refresh cluster: redisc: all nodes failed
dial tcp: address <redis://default>:***@fly-wealthbit-fleet-redis.upstash.io:6379: too many colons in address```
The value of the env var `FLEET_REDIS_ADDRESS=<redis://default>:***@fly-wealthbit-fleet-redis.upstash.io:6379`  (note the trailing colon is added by the logger only, and *** is replaced with the password).

From my searches it seems this is an issue with Go parsing the URL, I think it’s expecting just a host and port like `fly-wealthbit-fleet-redis.upstash.io:6379`  but when I try this I get a `NOAUTH Authentication required` error of course.

Is there a different way I can specify the credentials of my redis server?

Looking at where `FLEET_REDIS_ADDRESS` occurs in the fleet codebase it seems it does just need a host and port… so does that mean it needs a redis instance that doesn’t require a username and password / or uses the default redis username / password?

Hey <@U069U1HS9HQ>,
Believe there are <https://fleetdm.com/docs/configuration/fleet-server-configuration#redis|environment variables> for Redis username and password. Also welcome to <https://fleetdm.com/docs/using-fleet/fleetctl-cli#fleetctl-apply|apply config> with `fleetctl apply`.

Thanks <@U05Q4A3R6R1>, great docs! Once/If I get it up I’ll share my fly configuration in case you want it.

<@U05Q4A3R6R1> That did the trick, I’m up and running and got my first host registered. I’ve extracted this config if you folks want to use it.
