Use environment variable for configuring Redis password #120

Closed simonsanchez closed 2 years ago

simonsanchez commented 2 years ago

The existing documentation states

# When redis url/password is non-standard
config.redis_url = 'redis_url' # default ENV['REDIS_URL']
# Only included if set, as url can optionally include passwords as well
config.redis_password = 'redis_password' # default ENV['REDIS_PASSWORD']

Currently config.redis_password is hard-coded to the value some-password and can cause checks to fail (for instance in CI).

Workaround until this change is accepted and merged

config.redis_password = nil

I didn't realize this is a duplicate of #108
