Docker Installation of Redis

Redis is an open-source, network-capable, in-memory, log-based, key-value NoSQL database written in ANSI C, with support for persistence and APIs in multiple languages.

1. Check Available Redis Versions

Visit the Redis image repository address: https://hub.docker.com/_/redis?tab=tags.

You can view other versions of Redis by sorting, with the default being the latest version redis:latest.

You can also find other versions you want from the dropdown list:

Additionally, we can use the docker search redis command to view available versions:

$ docker search redis

2. Pull the Latest Redis Image

Here we pull the official latest version of the image:

$ docker pull redis:latest

3. Check Local Images

Use the following command to see if redis is installed:

$ docker images

From the image above, we can see that we have installed the latest version (latest) of the redis image.

4. Run the Container

After installation, we can use the following command to run the redis container:

$ docker run -itd --name redis-test -p 6379:6379 redis

Parameter explanation:

-p 6379:6379: Maps the container's 6379 port to the host's 6379 port. External access to Redis services can be directly via the host IP:6379.

5. Installation Successful

Finally, we can view the container's running information using the docker ps command:

Next, we connect and test the redis service using redis-cli.

$ docker exec -it redis-test /bin/bash
