How to configure the mount path when installing Redis with Docker?

To set up a mount path, you can utilize Docker’s volume feature. Below are the steps for configuring a mount path.

  1. Create a roll:
  2. Create a Docker volume named “redis_data”.
  3. When running a Redis container, use the -v parameter to mount the volume to a path inside the container.
  4. Start a redis container in the background, mapping port 6379 to 6379 and creating a volume named redis_data for persistent storage.
  5. The “redis_data:/data” here indicates that the volume named “redis_data” is mounted on the /data path in the container.

After this configuration, Redis data will be stored in a volume on the host machine rather than inside the container. This ensures that the data will still be retained even if the container is deleted or recreated.

If you want to specify a custom mount path, you can use an absolute path instead of redis_data:/data, for example /path/to/host/dir:/data. This way, Redis data will be mounted to the /path/to/host/dir directory on the host.

I hope this can help you!
