Didn't solve the problem. How to create a redis password?

[bobisme]

by default redis has no password

[Joshfindit]

There are two paths here:

1. Use redis without a password. This is the default. To do this remove or comment out any "REDIS_PASSWORD" entries in docker-compose.yml or .env
2. Use redis with a password. Note: you cannot (currently) configure redis password simply as an environment variable. Here's a related issue: https://github.com/docker-library/redis/issues/176

[Joshfindit]

Apologies. I missed this one:

localhost:6379

For docker you have to set REDIS_HOST=redis

Xerizaf, I had the same error after switching to a paid openai account. I generated a new api key at https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys and copied it in to .env and that fixed it for me. Hopefully, this helps.

[Xerizaf]

Solved.

Where do I put this?

I got redi working on apple silicon mac with Autogpt by using Visual basic studio IDE and Docker Desktop. There is some juggling between apps. basically go through the autogpt readme file after downloading everything. which will prompt a dev container extension and redis environent.

1. install "docker desktop", don't run yet (this will run the wrapper for redis and autogpt)
2. install "visual basic code" app, don't run (use this will run the autogpt folder as a "a deve container"
3. download autogpt folder
4. use the readme inside autogpt
5. copy and edit the necessary .env.template to .env
6. remove the hashtags from the following lines of code. then save. ... MEMORY_BACKEND=redis ... REDIS_HOST=redis REDIS_PORT=6379 REDIS_PASSWORD= WIPE_REDIS_ON_START=False MEMORY_INDEX=auto-gpt"
