A Dockerfile that produces a Docker Image for Memcached.
The master
branch currently hosts Memcached 1.4.
Different versions of Memcached are located at the github repo branches.
To create the image frodenas/memcached
, execute the following command on the docker-memcached
folder:
$ docker build -t frodenas/memcached .
To run the image and bind to host port 11211:
$ docker run -d --name memcached -p 11211:11211 frodenas/memcached
The first time you run your container, a new user memcached
with all privileges will be created with a random password.
To get the password, check the logs of the container by running:
docker logs <CONTAINER_ID>
You will see an output like the following:
========================================================================
Memcached User: "memcached"
Memcached Password: "VyUXlHIlOG2gSEjX"
========================================================================
If you want to preset credentials instead of a random generated ones, you can set the following environment variables:
MEMCACHED_USERNAME
to set a specific usernameMEMCACHED_PASSWORD
to set a specific password
On this example we will preset our custom username and password:
$ docker run -d \
--name memcached \
-p 11211:11211 \
-e MEMCACHED_USERNAME=myusername \
-e MEMCACHED_PASSWORD=mypassword \
frodenas/memcached
When you run the container, it will start the Memcached without any arguments. If you want to pass any arguments,
just add them to the run
command:
$ docker run -d ---name memcached -p 11211:11211 frodenas/memcached -m 128
