Docker image with redis built and installed from source.
The main usage for this container is to test redis cluster code. For example in https://github.com/Grokzen/redis-py-cluster repo.
The cluster is 6 redis instances running with 3 master & 3 slaves, one slave for each master. They run on ports 7000 to 7005.
It also contains 2 standalone instances that is not part of the cluster. They are running on port 7006 & 7007
The image will build the tag 3.0.6 from the redis git repo.
This image requires Docker above version 1.0
The following tags with pre-built images is available on docker-hub. They are based on the tags in this repo.
- Latest (Is the highest tag that currently exists in the redis repo [3.2-rc1 currently])
- 3.2-rc1 (See 3.2.x branch)
- 3.0.6 (Built from master branch)
- 0.2.1 (Based on one of the earlier 3.0.x redis tags. Should no longer be used)
If you want to use docker-compose (fig) please read next section.
Either download the latest build from docker hub with docker pull grokzen/redis-cluster:3.0.6 and run it with docker run -i -t grokzen/redis-cluster:3.0.6.
Or to build the image, use either make build or make rebuild. It will be built to the image name grokzen/redis-cluster.
To start the image use make run. It will be started in the background. To gain access to the running image you can get a bash session by running make bash.
Redis cli can be used with make cli to gain access to one of the cluster servers.
This image contains a compose.yml file that can be used with docker-compose (fig) to run the image. Docker compose is simpler to use then the old Makefile.
Build the image with docker-compose -f compose.yml build.
Start the image after building with docker-compose -f compose.yml up. Add -d to run the server in background/detatched mode.
If you get a error when rebuilding the image that docker can't do dns lookup on archive.ubuntu.com then you need to modify docker to use google IPv4 DNS lookups. Read the following link http://dannytsang.co.uk/docker-on-digitalocean-cannot-resolve-hostnames/ and uncomment the line in /etc/default/docker and restart your docker daemon and it should be fixed.
