nanobox-io/nanobox-docker-memcached

This is an Memcached Docker image used to launch a Memcached service on Nanobox. To use this image, add a data component to your boxfile.yml with the nanobox/memcached image specified:

data.cache:
  image: nanobox/memcached

Memcached components are configured in your boxfile.yml. All available configuration options are outlined below.

version
return_error_on_memory_exhausted
max_connections
chunk_size_growth_factor
minimum_allocated_space
maximum_requests_per_event
disable_cas
max_backlog
binding_protocol

data.cache:
  image: nanobox/memcached
  config:
    version: 1.4
    return_error_on_memory_exhausted: false
    max_connections: 1024
    chunk_size_growth_factor: 1.25
    minimum_allocated_space: 48
    maximum_requests_per_event: 20
    disable_cas: false
    max_backlog: 1024
    binding_protocol: 'auto'

When configuring a Memcached component in your Boxfile, you can specify which version to use. The following version(s) are available:

• 1.4
• 1.5

Note: Due to version compatibility constraints, memcached versions cannot be changed after the component is created. To use a different version, you'll have to create a new Memcached component.
