Dockerfile

# Install redis from source using stable
# To run the server
#    sudo docker run -d -m 2g -name redis-server jeremyclerc/docker-redis
# If you want to use client not from a docker, expose the ports 
#    sudo docker run -d -p 6379:6379 -name redis-server jeremyclerc/docker-redis
# If you stop it do not forget to rm the container, or you will have 
#  a name conflict
#
# Then a run a client by issuing
# 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
#
