usage

# create a redis service named lolipop
dokku redis:create lolipop

# you can also specify the image and image
# version to use for the service
# it *must* be compatible with the
# official redis image
export REDIS_IMAGE="redis"
export REDIS_IMAGE_VERSION="2.8.21"
dokku redis:create lolipop

# get connection information as follows
dokku redis:info lolipop

# lets assume the ip of our redis service is 172.17.0.1

# a redis service can be linked to a
# container this will use native docker
# links via the docker-options plugin
# here we link it to our 'playground' app
# NOTE: this will restart your app
dokku redis:link lolipop playground

# the above will expose the following environment variables
#
#   REDIS_URL=redis://172.17.0.1:6379
#   REDIS_NAME=/playground/DATABASE
#   REDIS_PORT=tcp://172.17.0.1:6379
#   REDIS_PORT_6379_TCP=tcp://172.17.0.1:6379
#   REDIS_PORT_6379_TCP_PROTO=tcp
#   REDIS_PORT_6379_TCP_PORT=6379
#   REDIS_PORT_6379_TCP_ADDR=172.17.0.1

# you can customize the environment
# variables through a custom docker link alias
dokku redis:alias lolipop REDIS_DATABASE

# you can also unlink a redis service
# NOTE: this will restart your app
dokku redis:unlink lolipop playground

# you can tail logs for a particular service
dokku redis:logs lolipop
dokku redis:logs lolipop -t # to tail

# finally, you can destroy the container
dokku redis:destroy playground
