How to run a Redis server AND another application inside Docker?

Question

I created a Django application which runs inside a Docker container. I needed to create a thread inside the Django application so I used Celery and Redis as the Celery Database.

Answer 1

use supervisord which would control both processes. The conf file might look like this:

...
[program:redis]
command= /usr/bin/redis-server /srv/redis/redis.conf
stdout_logfile=/var/log/supervisor/redis-server.log
stderr_logfile=/var/log/supervisor/redis-server_err.log
autorestart=true

[program:nginx]
command=/usr/sbin/nginx
stdout_events_enabled=true
stderr_events_enabled=true
