# Clear Linux* OS `memcached` container image
<!-- Required -->
## What is this image?
`clearlinux/memcached` is a Docker image with `memcached` running on top of the
[official clearlinux base image](https://hub.docker.com/_/clearlinux).
<!-- application introduction -->
> [memcached](https://memcached.org/) is a free & open source, high-performance, distributed memory object caching system,
> generic in nature, but intended for use in speeding up dynamic web applications by alleviating database load.
For other Clear Linux* OS
based container images, see: https://hub.docker.com/u/clearlinux
## Why use a clearlinux based image?
<!-- CL introduction -->
> [Clear Linux* OS](https://clearlinux.org/) is an open source, rolling release
> Linux distribution optimized for performance and security, from the Cloud to
> the Edge, designed for customization, and manageability.
Clear Linux* OS based container images use:
* Optimized libraries that are compiled with latest compiler versions and
flags.
* Software packages that follow upstream source closely and update frequently.
* An aggressive security model and best practices for CVE patching.
* A multi-staged build approach to keep a reduced container image size.
* The same container syntax as the official images to make getting started
easy.

## Deployment:
### Deploy with Docker
The easiest way to get started with this image is by simply pulling it from
Docker Hub.
*Note: This container uses the same syntax as the [official memcached
image](https://hub.docker.com/_/memcached).
1. Pull the image from Docker Hub:
```
docker pull clearlinux/memcached
```
2. Start a memcached server
```
docker run --network somenetwork --name memcached-server -d clearlinux/memcached
```
<!-- Optional -->
### Deploy with Kubernetes
This image can also be deployed on a Kubernetes cluster, such as [minikube](https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/learning-environment/minikube/).The following example YAML files are provided in the repository as reference for Kubernetes deployment:
- [`memcached-deployment.yaml`](https://github.com/clearlinux/dockerfiles/blob/master/memcached/memcached-deployment.yaml): example using default configuration to create a basic memcached service.
- [`memcached-deployment-conf.yaml`](https://github.com/clearlinux/dockerfiles/blob/master/memcached/memcached-deployment-conf.yaml): example using your own custom configuration to create a memcached service.
Steps to deploy memcached on a Kubernetes cluster:
1. If you want to deploy `memcached-deployment.yaml`
```
kubectl create -f memcached-deployment.yaml
```
Or if you want to deploy `memcached-deployment-conf.yaml`
```
kubectl create -f memcached-deployment-conf.yaml
```
2. Install telnet bundle and connect to the service, where 30100 is the port number defined in your service.
```
swupd bundle-add netkit-telnet
telnet <nodeIP> 30100
```
<!-- Required -->
## Build and modify:
The Dockerfiles for all Clear Linux* OS based container images are available at
https://github.com/clearlinux/dockerfiles. These can be used to build and
modify the container images.
1. Clone the clearlinux/dockerfiles repository.
```
git clone https://github.com/clearlinux/dockerfiles.git
```
2. Change to the directory of the application:
```
cd memcached/
```
3. Build the container image:
```
docker build -t clearlinux/memcached .
```
Refer to the Docker documentation for [default build
arguments](https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#arg).
Additionally:
- `swupd_args` - specifies arguments to pass to the Clear Linux* OS software
manager. See the [swupd man
pages](https://github.com/clearlinux/swupd-client/blob/master/docs/swupd.1.rst#options)
for more information.
<!-- Optional -->
## Benchmark test:
[memtier_benchmark](https://github.com/RedisLabs/memtier_benchmark) is a high throughput benchmarking tool for memcache protocols
1. Pull the benchmark from redislabs:
```
docker pull redislabs/memtier_benchmark
```
2. Run memtier benchmark test:
```
docker run --rm --network somenetwork redislabs/memtier_benchmark ./memtier_benchmark --server=memcached-server -p 11211 -P memcache_text
```
