How to start Redis in Linux?

@mathias.schinner 

To start Redis in Linux, you will need to have Redis installed on your system. If you do not have Redis installed, you can install it using your system's package manager or by building it from source.

Once you have Redis installed, you can start the Redis server by using the redis-server command. This command should be followed by the path to the configuration file that you want to use to start the server. If you do not specify a configuration file, Redis will use the default configuration file located at /etc/redis/redis.conf.

For example, to start the Redis server using the default configuration file, you can run the following command:

1

redis-server

To start the Redis server using a specific configuration file, you can run the following command:

1

redis-server /path/to/redis.conf

Once the Redis server has started, you can use the redis-cli command to connect to the server and issue commands to it.

For example, to check the version of Redis that is running, you can run the following command:

1

redis-cli ping

This will return PONG if the Redis server is running and responding to commands.
