If you want to use Redis for Caching and/or for Sessions Management, set `CACHE_DRIVER` and `SESSION_DRIVER` to `redis` instead of the default `file`.
If you don't find the `REDIS_HOST` variable in your `.env` file. Go to the database config file `config/database.php` and replace the `127.0.0.1` with `laravel.dev` for Redis like so:
```php
'redis'=>[
'cluster'=>false,
'default'=>[
'host'=>'laravel.dev',
'port'=>6379,
'database'=>0,
],
],
```
