Redis Docker Setup

This gist contains a Dockerized setup for running a Redis server with custom configuration and optional password authentication. The setup includes a Dockerfile, redis.conf, and a Makefile for easy management of the Redis container. Save all files to a repository an use the make file to run the commands. run make help to see the list of available commands.
