⁠Redis Docker

⁠Overview

These files are intended to provide a ready-to-use redis⁠ environment based on Docker.

Dockerfiles, Compose files and documentation are available here⁠. If you intend to follow the step-by-step tutorial, you should use the repository files.

The Dockerfile aims to be generic, easily extensible and used according to the user's will such as a redis master, a redis slave⁠ or a redis sentinel⁠.

## Quickstart

Let's start by building the Docker Image:

From here you got a new shiny Docker Image of a redis server you can play with:

⁠Dockerfile

The Docker Image you just created is based on Alpine⁠ distribution and its total size is 23.82 MB.

This is lightweight and that works, though I would not use it in production as it is because of my special needs. That is why you can override the redis configuration in command line without specifying a redis configuration file that would force you to create the Docker Image again.

Let's say you would like to change the port the redis server listens to:

Nevertheless, you would have to specify TONS of arguments in command line, and that is not really practical.

That is why you should directly use the Compose file instead.

⁠Compose File

The present Compose file sets up a basic redis cluster composed of six services:

• one redis master
• two redis slaves
• three redis sentinels

But you can use it as you want in adding or updating provided services by editing this very file.

Using this Compose file is as easy as:
