Hi, I connected the global Redis cache that’s running from the official docker image like this:

```auto
const RedisCacheAdapter = require('parse-server').RedisCacheAdapter 

```

```auto
// server config
cacheAdapter: new RedisCacheAdapter({ url: process.env.REDIS_URL }),

```

```auto
//env
REDIS_URL=redis://localhost:6000

```

The container is up

But the logs are not changing when I’m browsing my app (querying DB).

Is something wrong or do I have to do something to make Parse use Redis?  
I was expecting to have the queries saved in the redis and see this from the container logs.

Can it be because I use redis protocol instead of HTTP? HTTP gives an error saying that this is a wrong protocol.

Is anyone successfully using global redis cache? How did you set it up?
