How to: Run Sql Server and Redis using Docker on Windows

Sql Server is great and so is Redis but once I install them on my DEV machine they take (at times significant) amount of PC resources so I’ve switched to Docker-based solution which is simple to set up and it solves this problem.

Basically, you need to execute this 3 simple steps:

  1. install Docker (just run the installer from https://store.docker.com/editions/community/docker-ce-desktop-windows)
  2. Install Sql 2019  Linux docker image by following next steps
    After this steps you will be able to connect to the server using Managment Studio and/or Entify Framework is using it normally.
  3. Pull redis docker image (docker pull redis) and run it locally with this command
docker pull redis

docker run  -d -p 6379:6379 redis

Then in your appsettings.json just put „localhost“ for redis server address and you are done.

The two things I like about this approach to setting up my DEV box:

  •  If the docker containers are not running there is no impact on the hosting PC
  • I can use the same simple setup for my windows and mac dev machines
