Implementation steps for installing Redis container in Docker

If you want to install software in Docker, you must first download the image from the Docker image repository.

Docker image repository

Install Redis on Docker

1. Find the Redis image

Find the Redis image in the Docker image repository

Docker download Redis image command

2. Download the Redis image

Check all currently downloaded Docker images

 docker images

3. Create a Redis configuration file

Before starting, you need to create a configuration file for Redis external mounting (/mydata/redis/conf/redis.conf)
The reason why we need to create it first is that the Redis container itself only has the /etc/redis directory, and does not create the redis.conf file. When the redis.conf file does not exist on the server or in the container, Docker will create redis.conf as a directory when executing the startup command, which is not what we want.

## Create directory mkdir -p /mydata/redis/conf
## Create the file touch /mydata/redis/conf/redis.conf

4. Create and start a Redis container

Docker creates Redis container command

docker run \
-d \
--name redis \
-p 6379:6379 \
--restart unless-stopped \
-v /mydata/redis/data:/data \
-v /mydata/redis/conf/redis.conf:/etc/redis/redis.conf \
redis-server /etc/redis/redis.conf \
redis:buster 

Note: All the commands before the colon are host configurations, and the commands after the colon are mysql container configurations.
--restart unless-stopped : Restart the current container when Docker restarts. However, it does not include containers that were stopped when Docker was restarted.

5. Check whether Redis is running

### View the running Docker container docker ps 
docker ps | grep redis

6. Enter the Redis container

### Enter the Redis container through the Docker command docker exec -it redis /bin/bash
docker exec -it redis bash
### Enter the Redis console redis-cli
### Add a variable with key name and value bella> set name bella
### View the value of the key name> get name


### Or you can directly enter the Redis console through the Docker Redis command (a combination of the above two commands)
docker exec -it redis redis-cli

> Separate commands

> Merge Command

7. Exit the container

exit

8. Modify the Redis configuration file

Modify /mydata/redis/conf/redis.conf

9. Enter the Redis console with a password

If you set a password, you need to enter the Redis console using the following command

## Enter the Redis container docker exec -it redis /bin/bash

## Enter the Redis console with the password redis-cli -h 127.0.0.1 -p 6379 -a 123456
