40x smaller than Docker

This package is 3 MB vs Docker's 120 MB image. That's 40x less disk space, faster pulls, and a smaller attack surface.

Redis is an open source in-memory data structure store used as a database, cache, message broker, and streaming engine. It supports strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, bitmaps, and more.

niso packages Redis as a 3 MB binary -- that's 40x smaller than Docker's 120 MB redis:7-alpine image. The niso package includes redis-server, redis-cli, and redis-benchmark. Memory limits are enforced at the cgroup level, providing OS-level guarantees that Docker's container limits cannot match.

Key features

  • 3 MB total package size (40x smaller than Docker)
  • Default port: 6379
  • Multi-architecture: x86_64 and aarch64
  • database isolation preset — each service fully isolated
  • Security score: A+
