Welcome to the community @gurpreet_singh!

In this case, you have to copy the Redis node, remove that it needs credentials (remove the “credentials” property), and hardcode the values to be read from the environment like for example process.env.REDIS_PASSWORD.

So @jan

I removed that and now it’s like this -

		const redisOptions: redis.ClientOpts = {
			host: 'localhost',
			port: Number(process.env.N8N_REDIS_PORT)
		};

So is it fine ?

So .env file need to be at root ?

Looks correct.

The .env file has to be in the folder your run the docker-compose up -d command in.
