Setup / Usage

How to setup docker and start the cluster image.

Install docker on your system. 1.0 or higher is recommended. Instructions can be found at http://docs.docker.com/en/latest/installation/. It is also reccomended to add the current user to docker system group to remove the need to add sudo to each docker call.

Download the latest build from docker hub with docker pull grokzen/redis-cluster

To build the image run either make dbuild or make drebuild. It will be built to the image name grokzen/redis-cluster.

To start the image run make drun. It will be started in the background. To gain access to the running image you can get a bash session by running make dbash.

Test to connect to the cluster with redis-cli -p 7000. If you do not want to install a redis server on your host to get access to redis-cli you can run a exec command to run it inside the docker container. It can be done with docker exec -it <ContainerID> /redis/src/redis-cli -p 7000 where <ContainerID> can be found inside the CID file at /tmp/grokzen-redis-cluster.cid or via docker ps.
