Next, you can edit the config/environments/production.rb file and add this line:

config.cache_store = :redis_cache_store, { url: ENV["REDIS_URL"] }

Finally, define the REDIS_URL environment variable. You can use this URL and just replace <yourPassword> and <XXXXXX> with your information:

REDIS_URL="rediss://default:<yourPassword>@<XXXXXX>.stackhero-network.com:<PORT_TLS>"
