Redis Cluster Docker Compose - spring-boot

Question

I'm struggling to create a Docker Compose to create a Redis Cluster. I saw that there is a Redis Cluster image from Bitnami, I tried but it my Spring Boot App cannot connect to it due to the below error:
I tried another approach is to create 2 Redis instances master-slave and I can connect to it. Now I'm trying to create 6 Redis Instances and later create a Redis Cluster with 3 master and 3 slaves with the following command:
redis-cli --cluster create 127.0.0.1:6380 127.0.0.1:6381 \
127.0.0.1:6382 127.0.0.1:6383 127.0.0.1:6384 127.0.0.1:6385 --cluster-replicas 1
But when I executed the command it said that
Could not connect to Redis at 127.0.0.1:6380: Connection refused
Below is my current Docker-compose.yaml:
version: '3.8'
services:
redis-node-0:
image: redis:latest
container_name: redis-0
ports:
- "6380:6379"
command: ["redis-server","--appendonly yes","--cluster-enabled yes","--cluster-node-timeout 5000"]
volumes:
- redis-cluster_data-0:/redis/data
redis-node-1:
image: redis:latest
container_name: redis-1
ports:
- "6381:6379"
command: ["redis-server","--appendonly yes","--cluster-enabled yes","--cluster-node-timeout 5000"]
volumes:
- redis-cluster_data-1:/redis/data
redis-node-2:
image: redis:latest
container_name: redis-2
ports:
- "6382:6379"
command: ["redis-server","--appendonly yes","--cluster-enabled yes","--cluster-node-timeout 5000"]
volumes:
- redis-cluster_data-2:/redis/data
redis-node-3:
image: redis:latest
container_name: redis-3
ports:
- "6383:6379"
command: ["redis-server","--appendonly yes","--cluster-enabled yes","--cluster-node-timeout 5000"]
volumes:
- redis-cluster_data-3:/redis/data
redis-node-4:
image: redis:latest
container_name: redis-4
ports:
- "6384:6379"
command: ["redis-server","--appendonly yes","--cluster-enabled yes","--cluster-node-timeout 5000"]
volumes:
- redis-cluster_data-4:/redis/data
redis-node-5:
image: redis:latest
container_name: redis-5
ports:
- "6385:6379"
command: ["redis-server","--appendonly yes","--cluster-enabled yes","--cluster-node-timeout 5000"]
volumes:
- redis-cluster_data-5:/redis/data
networks:
default:
name: overlay
volumes:
redis-cluster_data-0:
driver: local
redis-cluster_data-1:
driver: local
redis-cluster_data-2:
driver: local
redis-cluster_data-3:
driver: local
redis-cluster_data-4:
driver: local
redis-cluster_data-5:
driver: local
I'm totally new to Both Docker and Redis, I'm learning so any help would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The way to do this is not obvious, because Redis Cluster doesn't easily work with Docker bridge networking. The simplest way to setup a single-node cluster is to cheat and bind it to 127.0.0.1:
version: '3.8'
services:
redis-single-node-cluster:
image: docker.io/bitnami/redis-cluster:7.0
environment:
- 'ALLOW_EMPTY_PASSWORD=yes'
- 'REDIS_CLUSTER_REPLICAS=0'
- 'REDIS_NODES=127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1'
- 'REDIS_CLUSTER_CREATOR=yes'
- 'REDIS_CLUSTER_DYNAMIC_IPS=no'
- 'REDIS_CLUSTER_ANNOUNCE_IP=127.0.0.1'
ports:
- '6379:6379'
You can then connect to it with this Spring Boot config:
spring:
redis:
cluster:
nodes: [localhost:6379]
ssl: false
If you want to setup multiple nodes, you'll have to create a custom network and assign static IPs. You'll probably also have to set network_mode: host.
