RedisΒΆ

Simplest container with redis looks like this:

containers:
  redis:
    setup:
    - !Alpine v3.5
    - !Install [redis]

commands:

  server: !Command
    container: redis
    run: "redis-server --daemonize no"

  cli: !Command
    container: redis
    run: [redis-cli]

Here is more comprehensive example of redis installed on ubuntu and has two instances started in parallel:

#
# Sample Vagga config for installing and running Redis Server v3.0
