Memcached is High Performance, Distributed Memory Object Cache
Pull the image from Docker Hub:
$ sudo docker pull registry.fedoraproject.org/memcached:rawhide
Run the container
docker run -it -p 11211:11211 --name memcached modularitycontainers/memcached
If you would like to debug memcached, use container option =e MEMCACHED_DEBUG_MODE:
docker run -it -p 11211:11211
[-e MEMCACHED_DEBUG_MODE]
--name memcached modularitycontainers/memcached
If you would like to change memcached options, like cache_size, connections or threads, use environment variable -e MEMCACHED_CACHE_SIZE, -e MEMCACHED_CONNECTIONS, -e MEMCACHED_THREADS respectively:
docker run -it -p 11211:11211
[-e MEMCACHED_CACHE_SIZE=<size_in_MB>]
[-e MEMCACHED_CONNECTIONS=<max_simultaneous_connections>]
[-e MEMCACHED_THREADS=<max_concurrent_threads>]
--name memcached modularitycontainers/memcached
Here is a simple demo how to run memcached
Copy systemd service which will take care of memcached container:
bash
$ sudo cp -av memcached-container.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
We can start memcached now:
bash
$ sudo systemctl start memcached-container
You should be able to test memcached by commands (taken from http://www.journaldev.com/16/memcached-telnet-commands-with-example):
bash
set Test 0 100 10
JournalDev
STORED
get Test
VALUE Test 0 10
JournalDev
END
replace Test 0 100 4
Temp
STORED
get Test
VALUE Test 0 4
Temp
END
