Run Redis using docker

November 27, 2021 · View on GitHub

Run redis as a docker container

# Persist Redis data here
mkdir redis-data

docker run \
		-p 6379:6379\
    -e ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes \
    -v $(pwd)/redis-data:/bitnami/redis/data \
    --name redis \
    -d   \
    bitnami/redis:latest

To connect using redis cli :
```
docker exec -it redis redis-cli   
```
If you want to stop your Redis container later on:
```
docker stop redis
```
To re-start when you need to :
```
docker start redis
```
If you want to delete the redis container
```
docker rm redis
```

Redis GUI

If you have npm installed you can run this simple command to open up a GUI in browser:
```
npx redis-commander
```
Or you can search for other Redis GUI tools.
