Redis as a private Docker service on Render

Redis on Render

This is an example repo with a Dockerfile for running a Redis cache as a private service on Render.

Render private services are only visible to other Render services in your account. They have internal URLs (e.g. redis:6379), can speak any protocol (like RESP), and can listen on any port.

Deployment

1. Select New Private Service on your Render dashboard and use your fork of this repo to create the service.

2. Enter a name for the service (this will be used to generate the private URL). Make sure the environment is set to Docker and click Save.

That's it! Once deployed, your private service will be available on a URL similar to redis:10000. You can start using your Redis URL from other services in your Render account.
