Linking with other containers

To use this image linking with redis, you have to have a running redis instance. Suppose you have a redis instance named some_redis, we can link it in our php instance with the name redis like this:

docker run -d -p 80:80 --name php -v /path/to/web:/var/www/html --link some_redis:redis -d liuxinnian/php

Then in the instance, you can use the hostname redis to connect to the database.
