Step-by-Step Guide to Deploying Redis 6.2.6 on Linux with Systemd

Download the Redis 6.2.6 source package, compile it, and install it to /usr/local/redis:

wget https://download.redis.io/releases/redis-6.2.6.tar.gz

make

make install PREFIX=/usr/local/redis

Copy the default configuration file and edit important settings such as protected-mode no, port 6379, daemonize yes, persistence options, and memory limits to suit your environment.

Example configuration excerpts:

protected-mode no

port 6379

daemonize yes

loglevel notice

databases 16

After adjusting redis.conf, start the server with:

/usr/local/redis/bin/redis-server /usr/local/redis/bin/redis.conf

Create a systemd service file to manage Redis as a background service:

[Unit]

Description=redis-server

After=network.target

[Service]

Type=forking

ExecStart=/usr/local/redis/bin/redis-server /usr/local/redis/bin/redis.conf

PrivateTmp=true

[Install]

WantedBy=multi-user.target

Reload systemd, start and enable the service:

systemctl daemon-reload

systemctl start redis.service

systemctl enable redis.service
