⁠Run Redis Stack on Docker

⁠How to install Redis Stack using Docker

To get started with Redis Stack using Docker, you first need to select a Docker image:

• redis/redis-stack contains both Redis Stack server and RedisInsight. This container is best for local development because you can use RedisInsight to visualize your data.

• redis/redis-stack-server provides Redis Stack but excludes RedisInsight. This container is best for production deployment.

⁠Getting started

In the default configuration, Redis does not require a password to authenticate clients. To provide basic security for your Redis Stack server, it is recommended to set a password using the requirepass directive. Configure this using an environment variable when starting the container:

To start Redis Stack server using the redis-stack-server image, run the following command in your terminal:

docker run -d --name redis-stack -p 6379:6379 -e REDIS_ARGS="--requirepass mypassword" redis/redis-stack-server:latest

You can then connect to the server using redis-cli, just as you connect to any Redis instance.

If you don’t have redis-cli installed locally, you can run it from the Docker container:

$ docker exec -it redis-stack redis-cli

Redis Stack supports the ability to configure multiple named users, each with their own password and access control configuration. Refer to the Redis Access Control List documentation⁠ for more information.

⁠Configuration

⁠Persistence

To persist your Redis data to a local path, specify -v to configure a local volume. This command stores all data in the local directory local-data:

$ docker run -v /local-data/:/data redis/redis-stack-server:latest

⁠Ports

If you want to expose Redis Stack server or RedisInsight on a different port, update the left hand of portion of the -p argument. This command exposes Redis Stack server on port 10001 and RedisInsight on port 13333:

$ docker run -p 10001:6379 -p 13333:8001 redis/redis-stack-server:latest

⁠Config files

By default, the Redis Stack Docker containers use internal configuration files for Redis. To start Redis with local configuration file, you can use the -v volume options:

$ docker run -v `pwd`/local-redis-stack.conf:/redis-stack.conf -p 6379:6379 redis/redis-stack-server:latest

⁠Environment variables

To pass in arbitrary configuration changes, you can set any of these environment variables:

• REDIS_ARGS: extra arguments for Redis

• REDISEARCH_ARGS: arguments for RediSearch

• REDISJSON_ARGS: arguments for RedisJSON

• REDISGRAPH_ARGS: arguments for RedisGraph

• REDISTIMESERIES_ARGS: arguments for RedisTimeSeries

• REDISBLOOM_ARGS: arguments for RedisBloom

For example, here's how to use the REDIS_ARGS environment variable to pass the requirepass directive to Redis:

docker run -e REDIS_ARGS="--requirepass redis-stack" redis/redis-stack-server:latest

Here's how to set a retention policy for RedisTimeSeries:

docker run -e REDISTIMESERIES_ARGS="RETENTION_POLICY=20" redis/redis-stack-server:latest
