Connecting to Redis running in Docker Container from Host machine

Question

I see lots of people struggling with this, sort of feel like maybe there is a bug in the redis container image, and others seem to be chasing a similar problem.

Answer 1

This is simpler way to set up a Redis container.

Download image and run container

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

If you don't have the image, this command will pull it. And then, if you need to access from redis-cli to console, can use:

docker exec -it some-redis bash

For enter to container console, and kind in the console:

root@72c388dc2cb8:/data# redis-cli

Output:

127.0.0.1:6379> 

This was enough for my use case (easy and fast local development).
