Why do I get an exception when using Laravel redis cluster?

Question

I am trying to configure my Laravel apllication to accept multiple redis nodes but I get an exception:

exception: "Predis\Response\ServerException"
file: "/home/vagrant/code/gryphon-laravel/vendor/predis/predis/src/Client.php"
line: 370
message: "MOVED 9576 10.225.25.33:6380"

Code that generates the Exception:

$user = Redis::get('anything');

.env

REDIS_CLUSTER=redis
REDIS_CLIENT=predis
CACHE_DRIVER=redis
QUEUE_DRIVER=redis
BROADCAST_DRIVER=redis

Config: database.php

I have searched and searched but have found nothing...

Docs on this side is a bit vague :

If your application is utilizing a cluster of Redis servers, you should define these clusters within a clusters key of your Redis configuration:

'redis' => [

'client' => env('REDIS_CLIENT', 'phpredis'),

'clusters' => [
    'default' => [
        [
            'host' => env('REDIS_HOST', 'localhost'),
            'password' => env('REDIS_PASSWORD', null),
            'port' => env('REDIS_PORT', 6379),
            'database' => 0,
        ],
    ],
],

Answer 1

Predis has been abandoned by the package's original author and may be removed from Laravel in a future release.

So, I recommend to install php-ext phpredis

.env:

REDIS_CLIENT=phpredis

Answer 2

File config/database.php

$redisConnStr = env('REDIS_CONNECTION', '127.0.0.1:6379');

$redis = [
    'client' => 'predis',
];

$redisConnections = explode(',', $redisConnStr);
if (count($redisConnections) === 1) {

    $params = explode(':', $redisConnections[0]);

    $redis = array_merge(
        $redis,
        [
            'cluster' => env('REDIS_CLUSTER', false),

            'default' => [
                'host'     => $params[0] ?? '127.0.0.1',
                'password' => env('REDIS_PASSWORD', null),
                'port'     => (int)($params[1] ?? 6379),
                'database' => env('REDIS_DATABASE', 0),
            ]
        ]
    );
}
else {
    $redisCacheCluster = [];

    foreach ($redisConnections as $conn){
        $params = explode(':', $conn);
        $redisCacheCluster[] = [
            'host'     => $params[0] ?? '127.0.0.1',
            'password' => env('REDIS_PASSWORD', null),
            'port'     => (int)($params[1] ?? 6379),
        ];
    }

    $redis             = array_merge(
        $redis,
        [
            'options'  => ['cluster' => 'redis'],
            'clusters' => [
                'default' => $redisCacheCluster,
            ]
        ]
    );
}

'redis' => $redis,

File config/cache.php

'redis' => [
            'driver' => 'redis',
            'connection' => 'default',
        ],

File .env

REDIS_CONNECTION=127.0.0.1:6379, //all ips redis clusters
