Use Redis Insight behind a reverse proxy
When you configure Redis Insight to run behind a reverse proxy like NGINX, set the request timeout to over 30 seconds on the reverse proxy because some requests can be long-running.
Redis Insight also allows you to manage its connection timeout on the form to configure the connection details. The default timeout is 30 seconds.
Hosting Redis Insight behind a prefix path (path-rewriting) is not supported.
