goodguide/memcached repository overview

⁠goodguide-docker-memcached

Base docker image to run a Memcached server

⁠Usage

To create the image goodguide/memcached, execute the following command on the root of this repo:

docker build -t goodguide/memcached .

To run the image and bind to port 11211:

docker run -d -p 11211:11211 goodguide/memcached

The first time that you run your container, a new user memcached with all privileges will be created in Memcached with a random password. To get the password, check the logs of the container by running:

docker logs <CONTAINER_ID>

You will see an output like the following:

========================================================================
You can now connect to this Memcached server using:

      USERNAME:admin      PASSWORD:h0znMbk3RkM8

Please remember to change the above password as soon as possible!
========================================================================

In this case, h0znMbk3RkM8 is the password assigned to the admin user.

Done!

⁠Setting a specific password for the admin account

If you want to use a preset password instead of a random generated one, you can set the environment variable MEMCACHED_PASS to your specific password when running the container:

docker run -d -p 5432:5432 -e MEMCACHED_PASS="mypass" goodguide/memcached

⁠Testing with Python

First, install bmemcached. To do this, use pip or easy_install:

pip install python-binary-memcached

Testing goodguide/memcached:

>>> import bmemcached
>>> client = bmemcached.Client(('localhost:49154',),'admin','h0znMbk3RkM8')
>>> client.set('key','value')
True
>>> print client.get('key')
value
