# DDEV Memcached

## Overview

[Memcached](https://memcached.org/) is a free & open source, high-performance, distributed memory object caching system.

This add-on integrates Memcached into your [DDEV](https://ddev.com/) project.

## Installation

```bash

ddev add-on get ddev/ddev-memcached

ddev restart

```

After installation, make sure to commit the `.ddev` directory to version control.

## Usage

* The Memcached instance will listen on TCP port 11211 (the Memcached default).

* Configure your application to access Memcached on the host:port `memcached:11211`.

* To reach the Memcached admin interface, run `ddev ssh` to connect to the web container, then use `nc` or `telnet` to connect to the Memcached container on port 11211, i.e. `nc memcached 11211`. You can then run commands such as `stats` to see usage information. See [cheatsheet](https://lzone.de/cheat-sheet/memcached) for more commands.

## Advanced Customization

To change the docker image:

```bash

ddev dotenv set .ddev/.env.memcached --memcached-docker-image=memcached:1.6

ddev add-on get ddev/ddev-memcached

ddev restart

```

Make sure to commit the `.ddev/.env.memcached` file to version control.
