Authentication

A simple example that performs authentication in Redis using the Radix driver.

Setup

Here's a sequence of steps to running this program.

1. Start redis.

   $ docker-compose up

2. In the another shell, you can connect to Redis via the CLI tool.

   $ docker-compose exec redis redis-cli
    127.0.0.1:6379> AUTH secrets

   Note: secrets is the password. See <docker-compose.yaml>.

3. Run Go program.

   $ go run ./main.go

4. Shut down and remove the container when you are done.

   $ # This should remove both redis-server and redis-cli
   $ docker-compose down

5. Alternatively, you can run everything with just 2 commands.

   $ make run
   $ make teardown    # Run this to remove the container
