Example Redis Configuration

This guide covers configuring continuous integration pipelines for projects that have a Redis dependency. If you’re new to Drone please read our Tutorial and build configuration guides first.

kind: pipeline
type: kubernetes
name: default

steps:
- name: test
  image: redis
  commands:
  - sleep 5
  - redis-cli -h localhost ping
  - redis-cli -h localhost set FOO bar
  - redis-cli -h localhost get FOO

services:

Common Problems

If you are unable to connect to the Redis container please make sure you are giving Redis adequate time to initialize and begin accepting connections.
