restore redis db from .rdb backup into docker container

Restoring a redis backup

  • Copy the rdb file into the redis directory
  • Rename it to be dump.rdb
  • docker-compose up
  • to connect with redis-cli
    • on Mac: redis-cli -h $(docker-machine ip) -p 3220
    • on Linux: redis-cli -h 127.0.0.1 -p 3220

Comments

  • To change the port 3220 to any other port number change it in docker-compose.yml
  • If no .rdb file is present, redis will only run in memory
  • To create a backup file
  • grant permissions to the redis folder chmod -R a+w redis/
  • type save in redis-cli
