- The `yb-docker-ctl` utility initializes the YEDIS API automatically.
- Run redis-cli to connect to the service.

```sh
$ docker exec -it yb-tserver-n1 /home/yugabyte/bin/redis-cli
```

```output

```

- Run a Redis command to verify it is working.

```sh
127.0.0.1:6379> PING
```

```output
"PONG"
```
