I have run the command

docker run -p 6379:6379 --name some-redis -d redis

When I run localhost:6376 in the browse I get the error message ERR_INVALID_HTTP_RESPONSE The Resdis is running:

    Steins-MacBook-Air:Domain steinkorsveien$ docker ps
    CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                    NAMES

How do I get connected to the Redis component?

docker redis

You can not connect to Redis from the browser, you can verify the connection and Redis health from the command line.

docker exec -it some-redis sh -c "redis-cli"

enter image description here

As Redis accept connection at the TCP level, so browser only work with HTTP level.

Networking layer

A client connects to a Redis server creating a TCP connection to the port 6379.While RESP is technically non-TCP specific, in the context of Redis the protocol is only used with TCP connections (or equivalent stream oriented connections like Unix sockets).

Redis server listens on a tcp connection not a http one, so it wouldn't be accessible via the browser. You could use redis-cli to communicate with the redis server, or if you prefer a GUI I'd recommend redis-commander
