I have question about docker redis-sentinel:5.0.10 startup issue.

I am running docker on CentOS7 Linux.

Before 5.0.10 version I used 4.0.9 and image was taken from our own repository, now I switched to bitnami repo.

The main problem is that I try to use redis-sentinel:5.0.10 (or redis-sentinel:5.0.7) and it falls into restart loop and cannot start properly.

I run containers like that:

[root@XXX opt]# docker run -d -p 26380:26379 -v /opt/app/redis:/data --name redis-sentinel -e REDIS_MASTER_HOST=XXX.XXX.XXX -e REDIS_MASTER_SET=XXX-XXX -e REDIS_SENTINEL_DOWN_AFTER_MILLISECONDS=30000 -e REDIS_SENTINEL_QUORUM=2 -e REDIS_SENTINEL_FAILOVER_TIMEOUT=180000 --net=host --restart=always bitnami/redis-sentinel:5.0.10
[root@XXX opt]# docker run -d --net=host -v /opt/app/redis:/data -v /opt/app/redis.conf:/usr/local/etc/redis/redis.conf --name redis-client --restart=always redis:5.0.10-alpine redis-server --slaveof XXX.XXX.XXX 6379

In log there are messages like:

Why it is not writable?

On other machines I have upgraded redis to 5.0.7 version successfully and it runs properly, nothing was done otherwise:

[root@XXX app]# docker ps --no-trunc

If I run on the same machine (where I tried to run redis:5.0.10) redis:5.0.7 the same error occured:

[root@XXX ~]# docker ps

What I am doing wrong? Any thoughts? (NB! SELinux is disabled)

  • How are you starting the container? You can override the command a container runs when it starts up, like `docker run --rm -it bitnami/redis-sentinel:5.0.10 sh` to get a debugging shell in a new container based on the same image. – David Maze Dec 09 '20 at 13:40
  • @DavidMaze, I added output of that command to my post and also how I run the container. – sergei Dec 09 '20 at 15:22
