To install and access Redis in Docker, you can follow the steps below:

  1. Firstly, make sure Docker and Docker Compose are already installed on the system.
  2. Create a file named docker-compose.yml and include the following content in the file:
version: '3'
services:
  redis:
    image: redis:latest
    ports:
      - 6379:6379
  1. Configuration file for Docker Compose.
docker-compose up -d
  1. The Redis container will start in the background. To access Redis, you can connect to the Redis container using the following command.
docker exec -it <container_id> redis-cli

The is the ID of the Redis container. If you do not know the container ID, you can use the following command to get a list of containers and find the ID of the Redis container:

docker ps
  1. After connecting to Redis, you can start executing Redis commands. For example, you can use the following commands to set and retrieve key-value pairs:
SET mykey "Hello"
GET mykey

This way, you can install and access Redis in Docker.
