# Setup Memcached
## Locally
You can run Memcached locally using Docker:
```
docker run --name my-memcache -d memcached
```
You can then interact with the server using `localhost:11211`.
## Kubernetes
The easiest way to install Memcached on Kubernetes is by using the [Helm chart](https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/stable/memcached):
```
helm install memcached stable/memcached
```
This will install Memcached into the `default` namespace.
To interact with Memcached, find the service with: `kubectl get svc memcached`.
For example, if installing using the example above, the Memcached host address would be:
`memcached.default.svc.cluster.local:11211`
## Create a Dapr component
The next step is to create a Dapr component for Memcached.
Create the following YAML file named `memcached.yaml`:
```yaml
apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
name: <NAME>
namespace: <NAMESPACE>
spec:
type: state.memcached
metadata:
- name: hosts
value: <REPLACE-WITH-COMMA-DELIMITED-ENDPOINTS> # Required. Example: "memcached.default.svc.cluster.local:11211"
- name: maxIdleConnections
value: <REPLACE-WITH-MAX-IDLE-CONNECTIONS> # Optional. default: "2"
- name: timeout
value: <REPLACE-WITH-TIMEOUT> # Optional. default: "1000ms"
```
The above example uses secrets as plain strings. It is recommended to use a secret store for the secrets as described [here](../../concepts/secrets/README.md)
## Apply the configuration
### In Kubernetes
To apply the Memcached state store to Kubernetes, use the `kubectl` CLI:
```
kubectl apply -f memcached.yaml
```
### Running locally
To run locally, create a `components` dir containing the YAML file and provide the path to the `dapr run` command with the flag `--components-path`.
