Original: Redis with Docker Compose: Persistence, Security, and Production-Ready Configuration

Short summary

This guide shows how to run Redis in Docker Compose with persistent storage, security hardening, and production-ready configuration. It covers persistence mechanisms (RDB snapshots and AOF append-only logs), practical Docker Compose setup with volume mounting, and security practices including password authentication, port restrictions, and disabling dangerous commands. Includes examples for health checks, resource limits, and multi-service orchestration to prevent data loss and container failures.

  • Docker containers lose all Redis data by default without volume persistence; use named volumes plus RDB/AOF persistence to survive container removal
  • Security essentials: set requirepass authentication, never expose port 6379 to internet, disable dangerous commands (FLUSHALL, CONFIG, FLUSHDB), run as non-root user
  • Production setup requires health checks, memory/CPU resource limits, and proper service dependencies to ensure data durability and prevent cascading failures
