I'm trying to run Redis Insight in Docker Compose and I always get errors even though the only thing I'm changing from the Docker Run command is the volume. How do I fix this?

docker-compose.yml

redisinsights:
  image: redislabs/redisinsight:latest
  restart: always
  ports:
    - '8001:8001'
  volumes:
    - ./data/redisinsight:/db

logs

Follow the below steps to make it work:

Step 1. Create a Docker Compose file as shown below:

version: '3'
services:
  redis:
    image: redislabs/redismod
    ports:
      - 6379:6379
  redisinsight:
    image: redislabs/redisinsight:latest
    ports:
      - '8001:8001'
    volumes:
      - ./Users/ajeetraina/data/redisinsight:/db

Step 2. Provide sufficient permission

Go to Preference under Docker Desktop > File Sharing and add your folder structure which you want to share.

Please change the directory structure as per your environment

Step 3. Execute the Docker compose CLI

docker-compose ps
          Name                        Command               State           Ports         
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
pinegraph_redis_1          redis-server --loadmodule  ...   Up      0.0.0.0:6379->6379/tcp
pinegraph_redisinsight_1   bash ./docker-entry.sh pyt ...   Up      0.0.0.0:8001->8001/tcp

Go to web browser and open RedisInsight URL. Enjoy!

  • Whats setting for headless docker running on linux(chromebook)? and i am not sure why we need to set this should docker not manage it by itself like it does for other containers? also the same compose file works on mac some how this error come for only chromebook.. – Laukik Oct 10 '21 at 18:50

I was having the same problem on a Linux machine. I was able to solve it through the Installing RedisInsight on Docker page of redis.

Note: Make sure the directory you pass as a volume to the container has necessary permissions for the container to access it. For example, if the previous command returns a permissions error, run the following command:

console $ chown -R 1001 redisinsight
