Postgres and Redis containers with Docker Compose

Docker Compose facilitates spinning up containers for databases without installing the databases locally. This post covers the setup for Postgres and Redis images.

Prerequisites

  • Docker Compose installed

Configuration

The following configuration spins up Postgres and Redis containers with UI tools (Pgweb and Redis Commander).

Connection strings for Postgres and Redis are redis://localhost:6379 and postgres://username:password@localhost:5435/database-name.

Pgweb and Redis Commander are available at http://localhost:8085 and http://localhost:8081 links.

# docker-compose.yml

  postgres:
    image: postgres:alpine
    environment:
      POSTGRES_DB: database-name

      POSTGRES_USER: username
    ports:
      - 5435:5432
    restart: on-failure:3
