Running multiple instance of Redis on Centos
If I set to --daemonize no
, Redis will crash when data insert.
ExecStart=/usr/bin/redis-server /etc/redis2.conf --daemonize no
Should change to
ExecStart=/usr/bin/redis-server /etc/redis2.conf
--supervised systemd
My Redis is 5.0.7.
FYI.
You can run multiple instances of Redis using different ports on a single machine. If this what concerns you then you can follow the below steps.
By installing the first Redis instance, it listens on
localhost:6379
by default.
For Second Instance create a new working directory
The default Redis instance uses /var/lib/redis
as its working directory, dumped memory content is saved under this directory with name dump.rdb
if you did not change it. To avoid runtime conflicts, we need to create a new working directory.
mkdir -p /var/lib/redis2/
chown redis /var/lib/redis2/
chgrp redis /var/lib/redis2/
Generate configurations
Create a new configuration file by copying /etc/redis/redis.conf
cp /etc/redis/redis.conf /etc/redis/redis2.conf
chown redis /etc/redis/redis2.conf
Edit following settings to avoid conflicts
logfile "/var/log/redis/redis2.log"
dir "/var/lib/redis2"
pidfile "/var/run/redis/redis2.pid"
port 6380
Create service file
cp /usr/lib/systemd/system/redis.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/redis2.service
Modify the settings under Service section
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/redis-server /etc/redis/redis2.conf --daemonize no
ExecStop=/usr/bin/redis-shutdown redis2
Set to start with boot
systemctl enable redis2
Start 2nd Redis
service redis2 start
Check Status
lsof -i:6379
lsof -i:6380
By Following this you can start two Redis servers. If you want more repeat the steps again.
