Tyk CE Headless cannot connect to redis using Docker-Compose and Helm

[shawlz]

Reproducing

Docker Compose https://github.com/TykTechnologies/tyk-gateway-docker/blob/master/docker-compose.yml Tyk Config https://github.com/TykTechnologies/tyk-gateway-docker/blob/master/tyk.standalone.conf

I cloned this repository and ran docker-compose up -d. I checked the logs and saw the following error

error="storage: Redis is either down or was not configured" prefix=main

This error is consistent with behavior observed with Tyk CE Headless on Kubernetes as well.
