docker-redis

This Dockerfile builds a redis on top of a Debian.

It downloads the latest stable source availabe.

You can then run it as server or as client.

Run the server

When you stop the container do not forget to delete, or you will have a name conflict (used for links).

sudo docker rm 3b577fa

Using the cli inside this docker

If you will use the cli from this docker, you do not need to expose the port.

sudo docker run -d -m 2g -name redis-server jeremyclerc/docker-redis

Using your own cli

If you want to use a client that is on your machine, or in your scripts, you need to expose the port.

sudo docker run -d -p 6379:6379 -name redis-server jeremyclerc/docker-redis

Run the client

sudo docker run -i -t --rm --link redis-server:redis -name redis-client jeremyclerc/docker-redis /root/start_cli.sh

/root/start_cli.sh just calls redis-cli with right IP and PORT from env because I have not been able to do something like docker run ... -h $REDIS_PORT_6379_TCP_ADDR
