Primary source of truth for the Docker "Official Images" program

Quick Overview

The redis/docker-library-redis repository contains official Docker images for Redis, an open-source, in-memory data structure store. It provides Dockerfiles and supporting scripts to build and maintain Redis images for various versions and architectures, ensuring consistent and reliable Redis deployments across different environments.

Pros

Official Docker images maintained by the Redis team
Supports multiple Redis versions and architectures
Regular updates and security patches
Well-documented and widely used in the community

Cons

Limited customization options out-of-the-box
May require additional configuration for complex Redis setups
Potential performance overhead compared to bare-metal installations
Requires Docker knowledge for effective use and troubleshooting

Getting Started

To use the Redis Docker image, follow these steps:

Pull the latest Redis image:
```
docker pull redis
```
Run a Redis container:
```
docker run --name my-redis -d redis
```
Connect to the Redis container:
```
docker exec -it my-redis redis-cli
```

For more advanced configurations, refer to the repository's documentation and Docker Hub page for additional options and environment variables.

Bitnami container images

Pros of containers

Offers a wider range of containerized applications beyond just Redis
Provides more comprehensive documentation and guides for deployment
Includes additional security features and hardening options

Cons of containers

May have a larger image size due to additional components
Could have a steeper learning curve for users familiar with simpler Redis setups
Might introduce unnecessary complexity for basic Redis deployments

Code comparison

docker-library-redis:

FROM debian:bullseye-slim

# Add Redis installation steps
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y redis-server

containers:

FROM bitnami/minideb:bullseye

# Add Bitnami Redis component
RUN install_packages redis-server
RUN . /opt/bitnami/scripts/libcomponent.sh && component_unpack "redis" "7.0.5-0"

The containers repository uses Bitnami's custom base image and component installation system, while docker-library-redis uses a standard Debian base and simple package installation.

Both repositories provide Dockerized Redis solutions, but containers offers a more feature-rich and enterprise-oriented approach, while docker-library-redis focuses on simplicity and minimal configuration for basic Redis deployments.

Primary source of truth for the Docker "Official Images" program

Pros of official-images

Broader scope: Covers multiple official Docker images, not just Redis
More comprehensive documentation and guidelines for image maintainers
Higher level of standardization across different images

Cons of official-images

Less specialized: May not have Redis-specific optimizations
Potentially slower updates for individual images due to broader focus
More complex contribution process due to larger project scope

Code Comparison

docker-library-redis:

FROM debian:bullseye-slim

# add our user and group first to make sure their IDs get assigned consistently, regardless of whatever dependencies get added
RUN groupadd -r -g 999 redis && useradd -r -g redis -u 999 redis

# grab gosu for easy step-down from root
# https://github.com/tianon/gosu/releases
ENV GOSU_VERSION 1.14

The code snippets show different approaches: docker-library-redis focuses on Redis-specific setup, while official-images provides a template for maintaining multiple images.

This is the Git repo of the Docker "Official Image" for redis (not to be confused with any official redis image provided by redis upstream). See the Docker Hub page for the full readme on how to use this Docker image and for information regarding contributing and issues.

The full image description on Docker Hub is generated/maintained over in the docker-library/docs repository, specifically in the redis directory.
