# Valkey - Connect with RedisInsight

**Learn how to connect to a Valkey database instance with the free GUI: RedisInsight.**

Cloud Databases allow you to focus on building and deploying cloud applications while OVHcloud manages the database infrastructure and maintenance in operational conditions.

 

## Requirements

- Access to the [OVHcloud Control Panel](https://manager.us.ovhcloud.com/)
- A [Public Cloud project](https://us.ovhcloud.com/public-cloud/) in your OVHcloud account
- A Valkey service running on your OVHcloud Cloud Databases ([this guide](https://docs.us.ovhcloud.com/en/public-cloud/databases/getting-started.md) can help you to meet this requirement)
- [Configure your Valkey instance](https://docs.us.ovhcloud.com/en/public-cloud/databases/valkey-configure-instance-accept-incoming-connections.md) to accept incoming connections
- A RedisInsight stable version installed and public network connectivity (Internet). This guide was made in RedisInsight 1.11.1

 

## Concept

A Valkey instance can be managed in multiple ways. One of the easiest, yet powerful, is using a Command Line Interface (CLI), as shown in our guide: [Valkey - Connect with CLI](https://docs.us.ovhcloud.com/en/public-cloud/databases/valkey-connect-cli.md) or by using programming languages, such as [PHP](https://docs.us.ovhcloud.com/en/public-cloud/databases/valkey-connect-php.md).

Another way is to interact directly using the GUI: RedisInsight.

To do so, we will need to install RedisInsight, configure our Cloud Databases for Valkey service to accept incoming connections, and finally configure RedisInsight.

 

## Instructions

### Installation

To interact with your Valkey service with RedisInsight you need to install it.

Please follow the official [RedisInsight](https://docs.redis.com/latest/ri/installing) to get the latest information.

We are now ready to learn how to connect to our Valkey service.

 

### Connect with RedisInsight

#### Collect required information

Select the `Dashboard` tab to find the required login information in the **Connection information** panel:

 

#### Configuration

Access the RedisInsight interface and click `Add connection details manually`.

Fill in the form with the previously collected credentials. Check the `Use TLS` check box and uncheck the `Verify TLS Certificate` check box. Then click on `Add Redis Database`:

**Tip:**

**Congratulations!** You are now connected to your Valkey instance!

`Select your Redis` database.

Finally, select the `Key icon` from the left-hand navigation menu, click `+ Key`, and add the following commands: 'scan', 'type', and 'getRange'.
