This container has been setup to automatically connect to a Consul cluster, created with a service name of consul. Read more about it here.
This container comes setup as follows:
- Redis will be automatically started for you.
- If Redis dies, so will the container.
- A basic Redis configuration which you can review and customise.
To update the configuration:
- Create a file called
redis-local.conf, fill it with all of the config overrides that you require. - In your
Dockerfile, copy this file to/etc/redis-local.conf.
Redis will start and load the config at /etc/redis.conf, and then load /etc/redis-local.conf and apply any overrides.
This container is automatically configured to register itself with Consul, as the redis service operating on port 6379. It comes with a script /usr/bin/redis-check, that is wired up to a Consul service health check.
Any of these files can be changed in your image, as required to customise the setup.
An example of using this image can be found in examples/user-consul-redis.
