Redis CLI Shell Plugin supports environment variable provisioning

Introduced 2026-07-10 · score 0.90

HOW TO USE IT

When connecting to Redis with `redis-cli`, configure the Shell Plugin with the Redis password saved as a 1Password field item. Run `redis-cli -h <host> -p <port> PING`; the plugin provisions the password through `REDISCLI_AUTH` and supplies the host and port flags.

op plugin init redis-cli
redis-cli -h <host> -p <port> PING

WHY THIS HELPS

Connect to a Redis server from a coding workflow using credentials stored in 1Password.

REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS

  • Version: 2.35.0
  • redis-cli -h <host> (required): Hostname flag; the plugin supplies a configured host flag when needed. Use the server hostname.
  • redis-cli -p <port> (required): Port flag; the plugin supplies a configured port flag when needed. Use the server port.
  • REDISCLI_AUTH (required): Redis CLI environment variable used by the plugin to provision the password.
  • Prerequisite: Redis server with hostname, port, and password; save the password as a 1Password field item and configure the plugin with `op plugin init redis-cli`.
