docker-redis

Docker redis server generic image source. This is based on ubuntu:12.04 image.

Image

You can pull a ready to use image from Docker index running:

$ docker.io pull wiliamsouza/redis

Or build this repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/wiliamsouza/docker-redis.git
$ cd docker-redis/
$ docker.io build -t wiliamsouza/redis .

Change wiliamsouza/redis to your Docker index username.

Container

This image uses volumes and environment variables to control the redis server configuration.

Volumes:

• /etc/redis: Change server configurations using it.
• /var/lib/redis: Data goes here.
• /var/log/redis: Access log from the container using it.

You pass with -v docker option. Don't forget to use absolute path here.

Shell access:

$ docker.io run -p 6379:6379 -i \
-v `pwd`/volumes/log:/var/log/redis \
-v `pwd`/volumes/lib:/var/lib/redis \
-v `pwd`/volumes/etc:/etc/redis \
-t wiliamsouza/redis /bin/bash

The command above will start a container give you a shell. Don't forget to start the service running the startup & script.

Usage:

$ docker.io run --name redis -p 6379:6379 -d \
-v `pwd`/volumes/log:/var/log/redis \
-v `pwd`/volumes/lib:/var/lib/redis \
-v `pwd`/volumes/etc:/etc/redis \
-t wiliamsouza/redis

The command above will start a container and return its ID.
