docker-redis-benchmark

Redis⁠ is an open source key-value store that functions as a data structure server. But how fast is it? This is a minimal Docker⁠ image that eases running the redis-benchmark.

Usage

This docker image is available as a trusted build on the docker index⁠, so there's no setup required. Using this image for the first time will start a download automatically. Further runs will be immediate, as the image will be cached locally.

This image is linked against a running redis container instance. Because of this, you'd likely want to start an instance similar to this:

$ docker run -d --name MyRedisContainer redis

The recommended way to run this container looks like this:

$ docker run -it --rm --link MyRedisContainer:redis clue/redis-benchmark

This is a rather common setup following docker's conventions:

• -it will run an interactive session that can be terminated with CTRL+C
• --rm will run a temporary session that will make sure to remove the container on exit
• --link {NameOfContainerToBenchmark}:redis has to be passed to address the redis instance to run the benchmark against
• clue/redis-benchmark the name of this docker image

Help

You can supply any number of arguments that will be passed through unmodified.

$ docker run -it --rm clue/redis-benchmark --help
