1 Run this [Redis][] image with:
3 $ docker run -d --name redis-0 wking/redis
5 Then [link][linking] to it from your client container:
7 $ docker run --link redis-0:redis your-client
9 Inside your client, use the `REDIS_PORT` environment variable (which
10 should be something like `tcp://172.17.0.8:6379`) to configure your
11 client's Redis connection. Linking like this *does not* expose the
12 port on your host interface (that's what `-p` is for). You can spin
13 up as many Redis containers as you like (`redis-1`, `redis-2`, …), and
14 link to any of them from any client container.
