How to connect Celery with redis?

Question

I have taken a free trial for Redis and it gave me an endpoint with a password. I haven't done anything with Redis or celery before so I really don't have any idea how it works. From the Docs of Celery everyone connects to the local host but how can I connect to this endpoint?

CELERY_BROKER_URL='redis://localhost:6379',
CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND='redis://localhost:6379'

What should I replace this with? Where should I give the password?

My endpoint looks something like this: redis-18394.c252.######.cloud.redislabs.com:18394, Should I add the password at the end of this after a / ?

According to celery's documentation, the format is

redis://:password@hostname:port/db_number

By default, redis has 16 databases so you can use any number from 0-15 for db_number. Use a different db number for broker and result backend.

I can confirm, this format worked. I set the broker URL to the redis endpoint with password and set db_number to 0.

where to put username in this format? Before password and the preceding colon?

You can use channel_redis for this

CHANNEL_LAYERS = {
    "default": {
        "BACKEND": "channels_redis.core.RedisChannelLayer",
        "CONFIG": {
            "hosts": ["password@your_ip"],
        },
    },
}

Can you just show me the full code? How does this channel be given to celery?

I have added the repo link just above the code. It has a good readme that you can refer to!
