Getting Started with Redis using Docker Container

gistfile1.txt

Redis is basically an open source, in-memory,  data structure store that can be used as a cache, primary database and message broker. It is a multi-model database that supports search, graph, real-time streaming, analytics and many other use cases beyond that of a simple data store. With over 52,000+ GitHub stars, 20,000+ forks and over 500+ contributors,  Redis  is quite popular among the developers. Redis gives developers building applications the tools and information they need in a very efficient manner. Redis today can be deployed on-premises, across clouds, hybrid environments as well as over the Edge devices flawlessly. 




# Ensure that Docker is installed

docker -v

# Create a dedicated Docker network

docker network create -d bridge redisnet


# Run Redis container

docker run -d -p 6379:6379 --name myredis --network redisnet redis

# Install redis-cli

brew install redis-cli

# Enter into Redis-cli

reids-cli

# Access the keys

- Create a generic key like set a1 100 and get a1 100

# Importing user keys

Let us import a user database( 6k keys). This dataset contains users stored as Redis Hash.

Users

The user hashes contain the following fields:

user:id : The key of the hash.
first_name : First Name.
last_name : Last name.
email : email address.
gender : Gender (male/female).
ip_address : IP address.
country : Country Name.
country_code : Country Code.
city : City of the user.
longitude : Longitude of the user.
latitude : Latitude of the user.
last_login : EPOC time of the last login.


# Cloning the repository

 git clone https://github.com/redis-developer/redis-datasets
 cd redis-datasets/user-database

# Importing the user database:

 redis-cli -h localhost -p 6379 < ./import_users.redis
 
 # Open a new terminal and run the monitor CLI
 
 $ monitor
 
 #Flushing up the database
 
 flushdb
 
 # cleaning up container
 
 docker stop myredis
