README.SUSE ------------- 1. copy /etc/redis/default.conf.example to /etc/redis/default.conf (or /etc/redis/otherapp.conf and so on) For the example we will use otherapp.conf 2. change at least pidfile, logfile and dir setting # the pid file *has* to match your config filename without the ".conf" pidfile /var/run/redis/otherapp.pid logfile /var/log/redis/otherapp.log dir /var/lib/redis/otherapp/ If you want to run more than one instance you also have to change the socket path and/or the ip:port combination. Also make sure if you copy configurations from somewhere, that "daemonize" should be set to "no". 3. create the database dir: $ install -d -m redis -g redis -m 0750 /var/lib/redis/otherapp/ 4. systemctl start redis@otherapp 5. systemctl enable redis@otherapp 6. to interact with all instances at the same time use: systemctl restart redis.target systemctl stop redis.target
