# Configure incoming connections of a Public Cloud Databases for Valkey service

## Objective

Public Cloud Databases allow you to focus on building and deploying cloud applications while OVHcloud takes care of the database infrastructure and maintenance in operational conditions.

**This guide explains how to configure your Valkey instance to accept incoming connections.**

## Requirements

- A [Public Cloud project](https://www.ovhcloud.com/es-es/public-cloud/) in your OVHcloud account
- A Valkey service running on your OVHcloud Public Cloud Databases ([this guide](/es/guides/public-cloud/databases/getting-started.md) can help you to meet this requirement)


***

### OVHcloud Control Panel Access

- **Direct link:** <ManagerLink to="/#/pci/projects">Public Cloud Projects</ManagerLink>
- **Navigation path:** <code className="action">Public Cloud</code> > Select your project

***


## Instructions

### Configure your Valkey instance to accept incoming connections

Before making a connection, we need to verify that our Valkey instance is correctly configured.

Click on `Databases
` in the left-hand navigation bar and select your Valkey instance.
#### Step 1: Verify your user roles and password

Select the `Users
` tab. Verify that you have a user with sufficient rights and a password. If you don't remember the user's password, you can either create a new user or regenerate the password of an existing user. Be careful! By doing so you will need to update all the places where you already use this user/password pair.
In our example, we will create a user called _redisUser_ and rights for :

- Keys:
  - **\*** (for _allkeys_)
- Commands:
  - **+ping** (for the _ping_ command)
  - **+info** (for the _info_ command)
  - **+echo** (for the _echo_ command)
  - **+get** (for the _get_ command)
  - **+set** (for the _set_ command)
  - **+client** (for the _client_ command)
- Channels:
  - **\*** (for _allchannels_)

Once created or updated, the user has to be ready and with the "Enabled" status in the Control Panel.

#### Step 2: Authorise incoming connections from the service

:::warning
For security reasons the default network configuration doesn't allow any incoming connections. It is thus critical you authorise the suitable IP addresses in order to successfully access your database.

:::

In this step, select the `Authorised IPs
` tab. IP addresses must be authorised here before they can connect to your database.
Clicking on `Add an IP address or IP address block (CIDR)
` opens a new window in which you can add single IP addresses or blocks to allow access to the database.
![Add an IP](/images/public-cloud/databases/redis-08-prepare-for-incoming-connections/ip_authorize.png)
You can edit and retract database access via the `...
` button in the IP table.
:::info
If you want to allow connections from the outside, you can enter the IP 0.0.0.0/0. Please use it carefully.

#### Collect required information

Select the `General information
` tab to find the required login credentials in the `Login informations`
 section.
