Setup master slave in Redis by using Docker

File docker-compose

version: '3'

services:
  redis-master:
    image: redis
    container_name: redis-master
    ports:
      - "6279:6379"

  redis-slave-1:
    image: redis
    container_name: redis-slave-1
    ports:
      - "6179:6379"

  redis-slave-2:
    image: redis
    container_name: redis-slave-2
    ports:
      - "6079:6379"

We will create three containers master and two slave with ports: 6279, 6179 and 6079. All containers will be exposed port by gate 6379.

-> Running the command "docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml up" to pull images and start all containers.

-> We will exec into redis-slave-1 and redis-slave-2 and run the command "slaveof redis-master 6379". And continue, we enter the command "info replication" to check the status of Redis slave that connect to Redis-master.

-> In the Redis master, we will run the command "set test 123" and check the key "test" in two Redis slaves. This is the result, and all Redis slaves are synced successfully.
