Im running redis on my server (Redis is not running in a container) and I am trying to connect to redis inside of my Container which has a Node.js app runninng. When starting the Docker Container with the node app from my Dockerfile in the logs there is the following error: Redis connection to 127.0.0.1:6379 failed - connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:6379
Redis connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:6379

Docker now provides a custom DNS-name called host.docker.internal for Windows/Mac versions (see https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/networking/#use-cases-and-workarounds) which resolves to the internal IP address of the host.
So instead of using localhost:6379/127.0.0.1:6379 in your connection string, change it to host.docker.internal:6379.
Note: for Linux there's a workaround -> see https://stackoverflow.com/a/61424570/3761628
