Hello, joined today and deployed n8n/worker template for Queue mode.
Then I created a practice database and read instructions on https://docs.railway.com/guides/redis#connect
I'm bit confused as it seems on redit I found only CLI, and client code snippet (On pic what they provide when clicking connect)
Also read the example here: https://docs.railway.com/guides/variables#referencing-another-services-variable-example
and still not understand.
What do I need to copy and where do I have to paste it and save? How can I tell it's done properly?
Railway & Redit platforms are new to me, yet I have some experience with Wordpress, placing API's credentials and update ip on server for domain. With 7 days backup I can restore before state, worst case I'll reset the project. I just want to understand how to connect correctly.
Appreciate your explicit guidelines. If there are screenshots or videos, that would be extremely helpful in applying solution.
Thank you

Go to your n8n service (not Redis) → Variables tab → Add new variable QUEUE_BULL_REDIS_URL with value redis://default:[password]@[redis-hostname].railway.internal:6379 (copy this from your Redis service's Connect button). Click Deploy to restart n8n - it will automatically connect to Redis using this environment variable.
Hopefully, this will solve your issues.

Thanks for the prompt reply!
Inside the value [password] & [redis-hostname] I place the static values provided from Redis CLI code snippet (the part comes after redis-cli or the whole thing?)
I'm bit confused because the format of the code snippet from Redis differs from redis://default:[password]@[redis-hostname].railway.internal:6379
it actually ends with redis' cloud details and not railway's - is that okay?
