Redis

About

Redis is an open source, in-memory data structure store, used as a database, cache, and message broker.

Installation & Basic Usage

Please see the Introduction & Concepts, then reference the examples below on adding this service to your project.

Base: docker-compose.yml

Add this section to your main docker-compose.yml file, which will act as a "base". All environments will reference this file, so you can simply manage everything from one location.

  redis:
    image: redis:6

See the official Redis DockerHub page for specific version references.

Development: docker-compose.dev.yml

  redis:
    command: "redis-server --appendonly yes --requirepass redispassword"
    volumes:
      - ./_volumes/redis/data:/data
    networks:
      - web-dev

Redis Password

Be sure to change the "command" to use the Redis password that you want to use.

Persistent storage

All persistent storage will be located in a ./_volumes/ folder on your project.

Add this to your .gitignore

/_volumes/*

Networks

If you copy and paste from above, be sure to define your network at the bottom of the file.
