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

There is 2 primary ways of buliding and running this container

To build your own image run:

docker build -t <username>/redis-cluster .

# or

make build

And to run the container use:

docker run -i -t -p 7000:7000 -p 7001:7001 -p 7002:7002 -p 7003:7003 -p 7004:7004 -p 7005:7005 -p 7006:7006 -p 7007:7007

# or

make run

# and top stop the container run

make stop

To connect to your cluster you can use the redis-cli tool:

redis-cli -c -p 7000

It is also possible to build the container using docker-compose. The advantage with a compose build is that it simplifies container management.

To build the container run:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml build

# or

make compose-build

To start the container run:

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up

# or

make compose-up

# and to stpo the container run

make compose-stop

To connection to your cluster you can run redis-cli tool:

redis-cli -c -p 7000

For a release to be buildable it needs to be present at this url: http://download.redis.io/releases/

To set a different redis version use the argument --build-arg

# Example
docker build --build-arg redis_version=3.2.0 -t grokzen/redis-cluster .

To set a different redis version you must change the variable 'redis_version' inside the docker-compose file.

Then you simply rebuild the compose file and it should be updated with the desired redis version.
