Docker

This section provides authoritative and comprehensive guidance for deploying NCache in Docker-based environments. It covers running a single NCache container for development and testing using standard Docker commands, as well as orchestrating the deployment of multiple NCache containers for evaluation using Docker Compose. By leveraging containerization, you can rapidly prototype distributed caching topologies, ensure consistent runtime environments, and evaluate clustering features such as high availability and WAN replication. Step-by-step instructions are included for container startup, port mapping, registration, and lifecycle management, making this approach ideal for learning and pre-production evaluation scenarios.

In This Section

Docker
Step-by-step instructions for pulling NCache images and deploying standalone containers. Ideal for local development and testing NCache features in an isolated environment.

Docker Compose
Explains how to deploy multiple NCache containers for evaluation using Docker Compose. This is the preferred method for simulating distributed cluster behavior and evaluation in a containerized stack.
