Configuration

Here are the configuration options, set to the default values, for this service. If you are unsure about where this goes or what this means, we highly recommend scanning the services documentation to get a good handle on how the magicks work.

Also note that options, in addition to the build steps and overrides that are available to every service, are shown below:

yaml
services:
  myservice:
    type: memcached:1
    portforward: false
    mem: 64

Port forwarding

portforward will allow you to access this service externally by assigning a port directly on your host's localhost. Note that portforward can be set to either true or a specific port but we highly recommend you set it to true unless you have pretty good knowledge of how port assignment works or you have a very compelling reason for needing a locked down port.

portforward: true will prevent inevitable port collisions and provide greater reliability and stability across Lando apps. That said, one downside of portforward: true is that Docker will assign a different port every time you restart your application. You can read more about accessing services externally over here.

Getting information

You can get connection and credential information about your memcached instance by running lando info. It may also be worth checking out our accessing services externally guide.
