How can I connect to Redis server in a Docker Container from Redis Desktop Manager in Mac?

Question

I have configured a MacBook with Docker and docker-compose, my configuration in the docker-compose.yml for Redis is the following:

redis: image: redis:3.0.6 container_name: cache

Redis is working, but I want to access to them with Redis Desktop Manager (or similar) from the host (The MacBook). The IP of my virtual machine is: 192.168.99.100 and I tried to configure with that IP and the 6379 port without success. Anyone knows how can I have configure Redis Desktop Manager to access to the Redis server in my Docker Container?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You need to expose the port 6379 on your docker-machine add this to your docker-compose.yml

redis:
  image: redis:3.0.6
  container_name: cache
  ports:
   -6379:6379

You should be able to access it then on (docker-machine ip (Your machine id)):6379
