Workshop Prerequisites

Having a few things pre-installed when you show up will help you get the most out of your time at the workshop. So, here's how to get Redis, Docker, and our sample application downloaded and running before you come and see us at the event.

  1. Install Docker Desktop if you don't have it already. Follow the instructions at docker.com.

  2. Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/redis-developer/banking-on-redis.git
  1. Enter the repository:
cd banking-on-redis

This application will be run locally with Docker. A Redis instance and the Node.js server will run concurrently. Note, if you have an instance of Redis running already and it's running on port 6379, you'll need to stop it first or this will fail.

  1. Start up Redis and the sample application using docker-compose:
docker-compose up --build
  1. Make sure it's all working:

Once everything downloads and starts, you'll have the following services running:

  • Redis is now listening on port 6379. Your code will talk to Redis on this port. Nothing for you to do here.

  • RedisInsight is listening on port 8001. To use it, open a browser and point it at localhost:8001. You'll see lots of data in there. We'll be using it during the workshop.

  • The Banking on Redis application itself is listening on port 8080. Use a browser to access this at localhost:8080.

  1. Once this is all running, shut it down until it's time for the workshop. Just hit Ctrl+C and it'll all shut down.

  2. Show up at Redis Days Atlanta, attend the workshop, learn lots, and have a good time!
