Setup a Redis Cluster using docker-machine

Create a Redis Cluster with docker-machine

Requirements

We use a home made redis-3.0 docker image (https://registry.hub.docker.com/u/bobuss/redis-cluster/), with the cluster mode enabled, and the classical ports exposed (6379 for redis and 16379 for the cluster).

Spawn the instances

We are using the virtualbox driver here. We are going to spawn 3 instances. The cluster configuration will be 3 masters without slave (no failover).

for i in $(seq 1 3);\
do docker-machine create --driver virtualbox redis$i;\
done

which output:

INFO[0000] Creating SSH key...
INFO[0001] Creating VirtualBox VM...
INFO[0007] Starting VirtualBox VM...
INFO[0008] Waiting for VM to start...
INFO[0044] "redis1" has been created and is now the active machine.
INFO[0044] To point your Docker client at it, run this in your shell: $(docker-machine env redis1)

INFO[0044] To point your Docker client at it, run this in your shell: $(docker-machine env redis3)

Install the redis-cluster docker image

for i in $(seq 1 3);\
do docker $(docker-machine config redis$i) pull bobuss/redis-cluster;\
done

which output:

Launch the redis on the instances

Do not forget the port 16379 (in fact, the redis port + 10000), which is used to make the cluster magic to happen.

for i in $(seq 1 3);\
do docker $(docker-machine config redis$i) run -d -p 6379:6379 -p 16379:16379 bobuss/redis-cluster;\
done

which output:

Create the cluster

./redis-trib.rb create --replicas 0 \
$(docker-machine ip redis1):6379 \
$(docker-machine ip redis2):6379 \
$(docker-machine ip redis3):6379

which output:

Check

Your 3 masters are redis1, redis2 and redis3.

Add a node

We replay

  • the instance creation,
  • the docker image pull
  • and the service launch

on a new instance called redis4.

$ docker-machine create --driver virtualbox redis4
