Redis is an open-source, networked, in-memory, key-value data store with optional durability. It is written in ANSI C. The development of Redis is sponsored by Redis Labs today; before that, it was sponsored by Pivotal and VMware.

Usage Notes

Start a redis instance:

docker run --name some-redis -d icr.io/ibmz/redis:[version]

Start with persistent storage:

docker run --name some-redis -d icr.io/ibmz/redis:[version] redis-server --appendonly yes

If persistence is enabled, data is stored in the VOLUME /data, which can be used with docker volumes.

connecting via redis-cli:

docker run -it --network some-network --rm icr.io/ibmz/redis:[version] redis-cli -h some-redis

Additionally, If you want to use your own redis.conf... you can create your own Dockerfile that adds a redis.conf from the context into /data/, like so.

FROM icr.io/ibmz/redis:[version]
COPY redis.conf /usr/local/etc/redis/redis.conf
CMD [ "redis-server", "/usr/local/etc/redis/redis.conf" ]

Alternatively, you can mount a docker volume that contains the custom config file:

docker run -v /redis.conf:/usr/local/etc/redis/redis.conf --name myredis \
        icr.io/ibmz/redis:[version] redis-server /usr/local/etc/redis/redis.conf
