# Introduction
`Dockerfile` to create a [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) container image for [Memcached](http://memcached.org/).
Memcached is a free & open source, high-performance, distributed memory object caching system, generic in nature, but intended for use in speeding up dynamic web applications by alleviating database load.

If you find this image useful here's how you can help:
- Send a pull request with your awesome features and bug fixes
- Help users resolve their [issues](../../issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue).
- Support the development of this image with a [donation](http://www.damagehead.com/donate/)
## Issues
Before reporting your issue please try updating Docker to the latest version and check if it resolves the issue. Refer to the Docker [installation guide](https://docs.docker.com/installation) for instructions.
SELinux users should try disabling SELinux using the command `setenforce 0` to see if it resolves the issue.
If the above recommendations do not help then [report your issue](../../issues/new) along with the following information:
- Output of the `docker version` and `docker info` commands
- The `docker run` command or `docker-compose.yml` used to start the image. Mask out the sensitive bits.
- Please state if you are using [Boot2Docker](http://www.boot2docker.io), [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org), etc.
# Getting started
## Installation
Automated builds of the image are available on [Dockerhub](https://hub.docker.com/r/sameersbn/memcached) and is the recommended method of installation.
> **Note**: Builds are also available on [Quay.io](https://quay.io/repository/sameersbn/memcached)
```bash
docker pull sameersbn/memcached:1.5.6-2
```
Alternatively you can build the image yourself.
```bash
docker build -t sameersbn/memcached github.com/sameersbn/docker-memcached
```
## Quickstart
Start Memcached using:
```bash
docker run --name memcached -d --restart=always \
--publish 11211:11211 \
sameersbn/memcached:1.5.6-2
```
*Alternatively, you can use the sample [docker-compose.yml](docker-compose.yml) file to start the container using [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/)*

```bash
docker run --name memcached -it --rm \
--publish 11211:11211 \
sameersbn/memcached:1.5.6-2 -h
```
# Maintenance
## Upgrading
To upgrade to newer releases:
1. Download the updated Docker image:
```bash
docker pull sameersbn/memcached:1.5.6-2
```
2. Stop the currently running image:
```bash
docker stop memcached
```
3. Remove the stopped container
```bash
docker rm -v memcached
```

```bash
docker run -name memcached -d \
[OPTIONS] \
sameersbn/memcached:1.5.6-2
```
## Shell Access

```bash
docker exec -it memcached bash
```
