About this repository

This repository is contained Dockerfile and material for building images of Redis from official Ubuntu docker images.

How to use these images

start a redis instance

$ docker run --name some-redis -d nmoeini/redis:6-xenial

start with persistent storage

$ docker run --name some-redis -d nmoeini/redis:6-xenial redis-server --appendonly yes

If persistence is enabled, data is stored in the VOLUME /data, which can be used with --volumes-from some-volume-container or -v /docker/host/dir:/data (see docs.docker volumes).

For more about Redis Persistence, see http://redis.io/topics/persistence.

connecting via redis-cli

$ docker run -it --network some-network --rm nmoeini/redis:6-xenial redis-cli -h some-redis

Additionally, If you want to use your own redis.conf ...

You can create your own Dockerfile that adds a redis.conf from the context into /data/, like so.

FROM nmoeini/redis:6-xenial
COPY redis.conf /usr/local/etc/redis/redis.conf
CMD [ "redis-server", "/usr/local/etc/redis/redis.conf" ]

Alternatively, you can specify something along the same lines with docker run options.

$ docker run -v /myredis/conf/redis.conf:/usr/local/etc/redis/redis.conf --name myredis redis redis-server /usr/local/etc/redis/redis.conf

Where /myredis/conf/ is a local directory containing your redis.conf file. Using this method means that there is no need for you to have a Dockerfile for your redis container.

32bit variant

This variant is not a 32bit image (and will not run on 32bit hardware), but includes Redis compiled as a 32bit binary, especially for users who need the decreased memory requirements associated with that. See "Using 32 bit instances" in the Redis documentation for more information.

Redis Modules

You can find the list of modules for Redis on redis.io or on redismodules.com. A few of the standard modules can be found here:

  • RediSearch: Search and Query with Indexing on Redis
  • ReJSON: Extended JSON processing for Redis
  • ReBloom: Bloom Filters data type for membership/existence search on Redis
