Restore Redis dump

[Benderwan]

Hi, I'm trying to restore a redis database from a .rdb file without success (Can't currently upload using rsync to the container as tar is not installed).

Would you know any way of doing it ?

Thank you very much

I don't understand why doing it via rsync -- wouldn't mounting as volume work as for having the file in the container?

Anyway, as a general thought -- we're slowly adding a feature to the other databases container images to be able to extend the functionality, see more at sclorg/mongodb-container#239. In that concept, we either use source-to-image, or just volume-mount files into /opt/app-root/ during start and the container can do something more.

So, I can imagine having the same support in this container image and then you'd just add your .rdb file into say /opt/app-root/redis-initdb/init.rdb and the image would just do whatever is needed during about the import. Would that sound reasonable?

I think it sounds reasonable, I'll try mounting as volume. Thank you ;)
