docker file to pass in redis host and port as ENV variables instead of setting up in webdis.json

[zcaudate]

I'd like to be able to spin up a docker instance of webdis and connect it to an already existing redis server.

Currently it's a bit difficult to do that. Being able to pass in ENV variables will make it easier.

Hi @zcaudate,

Sorry for the late response. You can create a config file where the redis_host field points to an environment variable; see the documentation for this feature here.

Your webdis.json should look something like this:

{
    "redis_host": "$REDIS_HOST",
    "redis_port": "$REDIS_PORT",
}

Ah awesome. That makes a lot of sense. Thanks heaps.
