Docker Redis

===========

Builds a docker image for redis. This is available as a [Trusted Build](http://blog.docker.io/2013/11/introducing-trusted-builds/) on the public docker index.

* Public Docker Index Link: [nisaacson/redis](https://index.docker.io/u/nisaacson/redis/)

# Usage

```bash

docker pull nisaacson/docker

ID=$(docker run -d -p 2222:22 -p 6379:6379 nisaacson/redis)

sleep "4s"

docker logs $ID

redis-cli -h localhost -p 6379

```

# Building

To build a docker image, use the included `Vagrantfile` to launch up a virtual machine with docker already installed. The Vagrantfile uses the [vagrant docker provisioner](http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/provisioning/docker.html) to install docker

**Requirements**

* [Vagrant](http://www.vagrantup.com/)

To launch the vagrant virtual machine

```bash

cd /path/to/this/repo

vagrant up

```

Once the virtual machine is running you can test out the `Dockerfile` via

```bash

# log into the virtual machine

vagrant ssh

# go to the mounted shared folder

cd /vagrant

# build a docker image from the Dockerfile

docker build -t redis .

# ensure that the image exists, you should see the `redis` image in the list output

docker images

# run the container, mapping ports on the host virtual machine to the same ports inside the container

ID=$(docker run -d -p 2222:22 -p 6379:6379 redis)

# wait a few seconds and then check the logs on the container, you should see the output from redis starting up.

docker logs $ID

exit # quit the ssh session on the virtual machine

```

To verify that the server is running, use the `redis-cli` tool to connect to the redis server running inside a container. Execute the following on the host virtual machine

```bash

# log into the virtual machine from your host computer

vagrant ssh

sudo apt-get install -y redis-server # will install an old version of redis such as 2.2.2

echo "INFO" | xargs redis-cli | grep "redis_version"

# should output "redis_version:2.8.2"

exit

```

# Access Running container

If you need to check on the running redis server container, you can open a shell via ssh

```bash

ssh -p 2222 root@localhost

# password: redis

```
