This project produces an Open Source Redis Docker image with TLS support. This project uses the base Open Source Redis docker image and stunnel to create a TLS wrapped Redis instance.

Start Redis with TLS:

$ docker run -d -p 6379:6379 -v /path/to/certs:/certs --name redis-tls madflojo/redis-tls

The /path/to/certs should be a directory on the host that contains the appropriate cert.pem and key.pem files for stunnel to provide TLS encryption.

Require password authentication for Redis:

$ docker run -d -p 6379:6379 -v /path/to/certs:/certs --env REDIS_PASS="<<password here>>" \
  --name redis-tls madflojo/redis-tls

Use the $REDIS_PASS environment variable to require clients to authenticate with this Redis server.

Additional Options to Redis Start Command:

$ docker run -d -p 6379:6379 -v /path/to/certs:/certs --env REDIS_PASS="<<password here>>" \
  --env REDIS_CMD_OPTS="--appendonly yes"  --name redis-tls madflojo/redis-tls

Use the $REDIS_CMD_OPTS environment variable to pass any command-line arguments to the Redis server start command.

Start with Persistence:

$ docker run --restart=always -d -p 6379:6379 -v /path/to/certs:/certs \ 
  -v /hostpath/to/redisdatabackup:/data --env REDIS_PASS="<<password here>>" \ 
  --name redis-tls madflojo/redis-tls

To retain data throughout container restarts, use Docker's volume maps to mount the data directory to a host-level directory.
