Expected result

Listing containers must show one container running and the port mapping as below:


$ docker compose ps
NAME                  COMMAND                  SERVICE             STATUS              PORTS
flask-redis-redis-1   "redis-server --load…"   redis               running             0.0.0.0:6379->6379/tcp
flask-redis-web-1     "/bin/sh -c 'python …"   web                 running             0.0.0.0:8000->8000/tcp

After the application starts, navigate to http://localhost:8000 in your web browser or run:

$ curl localhost:8000

Monitoring Redis keys

Connect to redis database by using redis-cli command and monitor the keys.

redis-cli -p 6379
127.0.0.1:6379> monitor
OK
1646634062.732496 [0 172.21.0.3:33106] "INCRBY" "hits" "1"
1646634062.735669 [0 172.21.0.3:33106] "GET" "hits"

Stop and remove the containers

$ docker compose down
