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.
Basic Example
In the below example we demonstrate a pipeline that launches a Redis service container. The database server will be available at redis:6379, where the hostname matches the service container name.
1 kind: pipeline
2 name: default
3
4 steps:
5 - name: test
6 image: redis
7 commands:
8 - sleep 5
9 - redis-cli -h redis ping
10 - redis-cli -h redis set FOO bar
11 - redis-cli -h redis get FOO
12
13 services:
14 - name: redis
15 image: redis
Common Problems
Initialization
If you are unable to connect to the Postgres container please make sure you are giving Postgres adequate time to initialize and begin accepting connections.
1 kind: pipeline
2 name: default
3
4 steps:
5 - name: test
6 image: redis
7 commands:
8 - sleep 15
9 - redis-cli -h redis ping
Incorrect Hostname
You cannot use 127.0.0.1 or localhost to connect with the Redis container. If you are unable to connect to the Redis container please verify you are using the correct hostname, corresponding with the name of the redis service container.
Bad:
steps:
- name: test
image: redis
commands:
- sleep 15
- redis-cli -h localhost ping
Good:
steps:
- name: test
image: redis
commands:
- sleep 15
- redis-cli -h redis ping
