2. fetch the latest version of the Redis image

Here we pull the official latest version of the image:

$ docker pull redis:latest

3. Check the local image

Use the following command to see if redis is installed:

$ docker images

In the above image you can see that we have installed the latest version (latest) of the redis image.

4. Running the container

Once the installation is complete, we can run the redis container using the following command.

$ docker run -itd --name redis-test -p 6379:6379 redis

Parameter description.

• -p 6379:6379: Maps port 6379 of the container service to port 6379 of the host. External access to the Redis service is possible directly through the host ip:6379.

5. Successful installation

Finally, we can view the running information of the container by using the docker ps command.

Next, we test using the redis service via the redis-cli connection.

$ docker exec -it redis-test /bin/bash
