How to run REDIS on a separate server?

[derwaldgeist]

We'd like to combine REDIS oplog with mup-aws-beanstalk, which is not supported by default. I learned from zodern that this is due to a missing firewall setup: zodern/mup-redis#3 (comment)

So I was wondering if there was another way to setup REDIS, by providing authentication between REDIS and the Meteor server. Yet I cannot see any auth config in the config sample.

Does that mean that the REDIS server has to either run on the same host as the Meteor server (127.0.0.1) or that you have to setup a firewall to only give the Meteor servers access to the REDIS instance? If so, are you aware of any tutorial / docs about this can be done in combination with a Beanstalk environment? I'm a bit lost right now.

I am in the same configuration and would like to do the same thing, did you succeed?

Nope, unfortunately not.
