Spring 5.0 By Example

Pulling the Redis image from the Docker Hub

The first thing we need to do is download the Redis image from the Docker Hub. To do that, it is necessary to execute the following command:

docker pull redis:4.0.6-alpine

We have used the alpine version from Redis because it is smaller than the others and has a reasonable security. While the image is downloaded, we can see the downloading status progress.

We can check the result using the following command:

docker images

The result should look like the following:

Take a look at the images downloaded. The Redis must be on the list. 

Awesome, now we will start the Redis instance.
