Keep Redis data alive between docker-compose down and up in Docker container

Question

Question is about keeping Redis data alive between docker-compose up and docker-compose down.

In the docker-compose.yaml file bellow db service uses - postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data/ volume to keep data alive. I would like to do something like this for redis service but I can not find workable solution to do so. Only one way I have managed to achieve this goal is to store data in local storage - ./storage/redis/data:/data. All experiments with external volume gave no results.

Question is -is it possible somehow to store redis data between docker-compose down and docker-compose up in a volume likewise it made in DB service?

Sorry if question is naive…

Thanks

volumes:
    postgres_data:

You just need to add a named volume for Redis data next to postgres_data :

volumes:
    postgres_data:
    redis_data:

Then change host path to named volume:

  redis:
    ...
    volumes:
        - redis_data:/data

If Redis saved data with host path, then the above will work for you. I mention that because you have to configure Redis to enable persistent storage (see Redis Docker Hub page https://hub.docker.com/_/redis ).

Beware, running docker-compose down -v will destroy volumes as well.
