Dragonfly DB with Docker Compose

This guide will have you up running DragonflyDB with docker-compose in just a few minutes.

| This guide assumes you have docker and docker-compose installed on your machine. If not, Install Docker and Install Docker Compose before continuing.

Step 1

# Download Official Dragonfly DB Docker Compose File
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dragonflydb/dragonfly/main/contrib/docker/docker-compose.yml

# Launch the Dragonfly DB Instance
docker-compose up -d

# Confirm image is up
docker ps | grep dragonfly
# ac94b5ba30a0   docker.dragonflydb.io/dragonflydb/dragonfly   "entrypoint.sh drago…"   45 seconds ago   Up 31 seconds         0.0.0.0:6379->6379/tcp, :::6379->6379/tcp   docker_dragonfly_1

# Log follow the dragonfly container
docker logs -f docker_dragonfly_1

Dragonfly DB will answer to both http and redis requests out of the box!

You can use redis-cli to connect to localhost:6379 or open a browser and visit http://localhost:6379

Step 2

Connect with a redis client.

From a new terminal:

redis-cli
127.0.0.1:6379> set hello world
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> keys *
1) "hello"
127.0.0.1:6379> get hello
"world"
127.0.0.1:6379> 

Step 3

Continue being great and build your app with the power of DragonflyDB!

Tuning Dragonfly DB

If you are attempting to tune Dragonfly DB for performance, consider NAT performance costs associated with containerization.

Performance Tuning

---

In docker-compose, there is a meaningful difference between an overlay network(which relies on docker NAT traversal on every request) and using the host network(see docker-compose.yml).
