Not possible to connect to Redis

I have been stuck on this very issue for nearly 2 days. It crashes when it tries to connect (shown in code below). I am getting an exception that says :

StackExchange.Redis.RedisConnectionException: 'It was not possible to connect to the redis server(s). UnableToConnect on 127.0.0.1:6379/Interactive, Initializing/NotStarted, last: NONE, origin: BeginConnectAsync, outstanding: 0, last-read: 0s ago, last-write: 0s ago, keep-alive: 60s, state: Connecting, mgr: 10 of 10 available, last-heartbeat: never, global: 5s ago, v: 2.1.30.38891'

The code is in the StartUp file.

            services.AddSingleton<ConnectionMultiplexer>(c =>
        {
            var configuration = ConfigurationOptions.Parse(Configuration.GetConnectionString("Redis"));

            return ConnectionMultiplexer.Connect(configuration);
        });

do you actually have a redis server running locally on port 6379? – David L
@DavidL I am new to Redis. And I don't think I have Redis running locally. Is there a way to check ? – Illep
Redis is a separate application. It isn’t like a memory cache that runs in your web app. So if you haven’t explicitly set one up, you most likely don’t have a redis instance provisioned. – David L
I have added an image of my Docker application. Can you please have a look. I guess the instance is running. – Illep
How is your redis instance bound? There’s no way for anyone to know how you’ve configured it. – David L

if you have an other container, connect to the container using the Azure portal, (attach). Make sure you have ping installed

do apt install iputils-ping now do a ping to authdb see if ping can resolve.
