How do I make a redis container accessible through bridge networking from the host?
By default Docker uses the bridge network.
On a default Docker installation you can simply map a port to the container's service port.  The Redis Docker image exposes its service on port 6379 so you can do:
$ docker run --name rd -d -p 6379:6379 redis:latest
From your host you can now run use the redis-cli utility:
$ redis-cli
127.0.0.1:6379&gt; ping
PONG
127.0.0.1:6379&gt;
