Redis

Docker Setup

In the StackExchange.Redis documentation, it references the following docker image

Run the Docker container

docker run -p 6379:6379 --name some-redis -d redis:latest

Docker compose file for it

Create a text file and name it: docker-compose.yml Put this in the text file:

version: '3.8'
services:
  redis:
    image: redis:latest
    container_name: some-redis
    restart: unless-stopped
    user: 0:0
    ports:
      - 6379:6379

You can run the docker compose command by navigating to the folder where the file is located and running these commands

docker compose up -d Creates a container in detached mode so you run CLI commands as specified below.
docker compose down Stops the container and removes it

There is also a docker-compose.yml file in the root of this example.

Run redis CLI commands within the Docker container

Application setup

You'll need to update your Redis connection string. If you are using the Docker container, you can use this Redis connection string:

localhost:6379,ssl=false,abortConnect=False

If you are using Azure, you will need obtain a connection string from the portal. For Azure Cahce for Redis, it's under "Access Keys" and you want either the primary or secondary connection string.
