# cimg/redis

A Redis Docker image built to run on CircleCI.

***This image is designed to supersede the legacy CircleCI Redis image, `circleci/redis`.***

`cimg/redis` is a Docker image created by CircleCI with continuous integration builds in mind.

## Getting Started

This image can be used with the CircleCI `docker` executor as a secondary image.
For example:

```yaml
jobs:
  build:
    docker:
      - image: cimg/go:1.17
      - image: cimg/redis:6.2.6
    steps:
      - checkout
```

In the above example, the CircleCI Go Docker image is used for the primary container while the Redis image is used as a secondary.
More specifically, the tag `6.2.6` is used meaning the version of Redis will be v6.2.6.
You can now connect to a Redis instance from the primary image within the steps for this job.


## How This Image Works

This image contains the Redis database and its complete toolchain.

### Tagging Scheme

This image has the following tagging scheme:

```
cimg/redis:<redis-version>
```

`<redis-version>` - The version of Redis to use.
