Your error, The client is closed, is due to this breaking change.

import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import * as Redis from 'redis';

@Module({
  providers: [
    {
      provide: REDIS,
      useFactory: async () => {
        const client = Redis.createClient({
          url: 'rediss://username:password@your.redis.url', 
          legacyMode: true 
        })
        await client.connect()
        return client
      },
    },
  ],
  exports: [REDIS],
})
export class RedisModule {}
