Redis and RedisInsight with Docker Compose

This guide provides instructions to set up Redis and RedisInsight using Docker Compose.

Prerequisites

• Docker installed on your system.
• Docker Compose installed.

Getting Started

1. Clone this repository or navigate to your project directory.

2. Ensure you have the following redis-docker-compose.yml file in your directory:

services:
  redis:
    image: redis:alpine
    container_name: redis
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "6379:6379"
    volumes:
      - redis-data:/data
    environment:
      - INSIGHT_WEB_PORT=8001
    networks:
      - redis-network
    command: ["redis-server", "--appendonly", "yes"]
    healthcheck:
      test:
          - CMD
          - redis-cli
          - ping
      retries: 3
      timeout: 5s

  redisinsight:
    image: redis/redisinsight:latest
    container_name: redisinsight
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      - REDIS_HOST=redis
      - REDIS_PORT=6379
      - REDISINSIGHT_HOST=0.0.0.0
      - REDISINSIGHT_ACCEPT_LICENSE=true  # Accept EULA and Privacy Settings
    ports:
      - "5540:5540"
    volumes:
      - redisinsight-data:/db
    networks:
      - redis-network
    depends_on:
      - redis

volumes:
  redis-data:
    driver: local
  redisinsight-data:
    driver: local

networks:
  redis-network:
    driver: bridge

3. Start the services using the following command:

   docker compose -f redis-docker-compose.yml up -d --build

4. Verify that the containers are running:

   docker ps

Accessing the Services

• Redis: Redis will be available on localhost:6379.
• RedisInsight: Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:5540 to access the RedisInsight UI. (It will take 5-10 secs to spin up the container. So wait and reload the broswer page if you didn't see the redisinsght page).

RedisInsight Login Page

Below is an example of the login page:

Check "use recommended settings" and "Terms" and then "Submit";

After that

and set the redis url to redis:6379 and hit "Add Database"

Stopping the Services

To stop and remove the containers, run:

docker compose -f redis-docker-compose.yml down

Notes

• The redis-data volume ensures that Redis data persists across container restarts.
• RedisInsight provides a graphical interface to manage and monitor your Redis instances.
