Installing Redis

Redis is available to install in two ways:

Install it locally or on the Cloud.

On the Cloud

As it is generally preferable to install Redis via a Docker, we will brief you on this procedure.

Start your local Redis docker instance

docker run -d --name my-redis -p 6379:6379 redis/redis-stack-server:latest

Copy the container ID and use it in the following command

docker exec -it {{ContainerID}} sh > redis-cli

If you are using a docker file:

FROM redis:latest

EXPOSE 6379

CMD ["redis-server"]

## build

docker build -t my-redis-image .

## run

docker run -d --name my-redis my-redis-image

Connect to Redis Container

docker exec -it {{ContainerID}} sh> redis-cli

Redis commands
