I want to access Redis, and probably other services in the future which are located on my Hyper-V virtual machine (Ubuntu) from my Windows desktop (the host). Only the guest and host should be able to access Redis.

I followed this tutorial and added a manual IP & subnet mask for

and the guest.

The problem is that I can't connect to Redis from the host (my pc). I tried running ping 192.168.10.100 and it worked but telnet 192.168.10.100 6379 didn't work, so it's not an issue with the IP but something else. I assume the issue relates to my Redis binding or firewall.

To confirm: 6379 is the port I use for Redis.

  • Look up using Host Only for the Hyper-V Guest as that should do what you want.

  • @John First result says to use network switches which I've done already. The thing is that it still doesn't work. (I tried Internal switch, without providing a manual IP to host/guest)

  • Try commenting the existing bind and uncomment the one that binds to 0.0.0.0. Don’t forget to restart redis

I ran sudo ufw allow 6379 and it solved the problem. Also, make sure the Redis bind allows you to connect (adding 192.168.10.100 to the Redis bind should be fine).
