Detailed steps to use Redis in Docker

1. Introduction

This article will show you how to explore Redis using Docker. We can run Docker commands in Docker for Windows, Docker for mac, or Linux mode.

This article is based on Docker for mac.

2. View available Redis versions

You can view the Redis image in the image repository:

3. Get the image

Use the following command to pull the latest official version of the image:

docker pull redis:latest 

4. View local image

Use the following command to check whether the Redis image has been installed:

docker images 

In the picture we can see that we have installed the latest version of the Redis image.

5. Run the container

We give the container a name docker-redis, expose port 6379 (the default value for Redis), and run the container using the following command:

docker run -d -p 6379:6379 --name docker-redis redis 

-p 6379:6379: maps the 6379 port of the container service to the 6379 port of the host machine. The outside world can directly access the Redis service through the host ip:6379.

You can use the following command to view the running information of the container to determine whether the container is running successfully:

docker ps 

You can also view the log output by running the following command:

docker logs docker-redis 

6. Run Redis CLI in the container

Next, we connect to the redis service by running redis-cli in the container. We will start a new interactive session with the -it option in the running container and use it to run redis-cli:

docker exec -it docker-redis /bin/bash 

Now that we are connected to the container, let's run redis-cli:

root@517350f4f2bb:/data# redis-cli

Now we can run some basic Redis commands:

7. Clean up the container

Let's stop the docker-redis container and remove it:

docker stop docker-redis
docker rm docker-redis
