How do I name an instance of redis
I’ve launched two instances of Redis. Shown below is the command to start a Redis instance.
service redis start
service redis2 start
For redis, using the default port, I have started redis2 with port 6380. If I want to use the same redis-cli for the default port, I need to provide redis -p 6380 for the redis2 instance.
Can I have Redis instances launch with a name so that I can easily identify what each instance will do? ps -aef is shown below.
ps -awef| grep redis
redis 11498 1 0 09:30 ? 00:00:02 /usr/bin/redis-server 127.0.0.1:6379
redis 13285 1 0 10:00 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/redis-server 127.0.0.1:6380
Solution
Make each Redis instance different for the user.
ps -awef| grep redis
redis 11498 1 0 09:30 ? 00:00:02 /usr/bin/redis-server 127.0.0.1:6379
redis2 13285 1 0 10:00 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/redis-server 127.0.0.1:6380
