I am completely new to docker. I want to run the official redis docker image on my installed docker engine on my windows 10 machine and access it from applications run on windows.
I have installed the image https://hub.docker.com/_/redis/
and use the command
"docker run --name some-redis -d redis"
to load the image and run the container successfully
but still port 6379 is not accessible from windows
The port is only exposed. That means that it will be avalible to linked containers (or to all containers in docker-compose). To publish the port (make it available outside docker) you use -p host_port:container_port like -p 6379:6379
