litaio/redis repository overview

⁠docker-redis

This repository contains the Dockerfile for Lita.io's public Redis image: litaio/redis⁠

⁠Configuration

The default Redis configuration is the default configuration with one minor changes:

• The data directory is set to /var/lib/redis.

You can provide your own custom configuration by mounting a volume with another file. The details of this are shown below.

⁠Usage

For default settings, run:

docker run --name redis litaio/redis

This will require that other containers that need to access redis do so using Docker's linking feature:

docker run --link redis:redis my_company/my_application

Use the -p or -P flags if you need to expose Redis on a host port.

It's recommended to run the container with a host volume bound for persistent data storage:

docker run -v /path/to/redis/data/on/host:/var/lib/redis --name redis litaio/redis

The mount path inside the container must be /var/lib/redis, unless you override Redis's "dir" setting in your own configuration file.

To run Redis with a custom configuration file:

docker run -v /path/to/custom/redis.conf:/etc/redis.conf --name redis litaio/redis

The path inside the container must be /etc/redis.conf if you use the default Docker command.
