redis-server: Start Redis server with a custom configuration file.
$ redis-server ${path-to-redis-conf}
try on your machine

The command redis-server ${path-to-redis-conf} is used to start the Redis server with a specific configuration file.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • redis-server: This is the executable command that starts the Redis server.
  • ${path-to-redis-conf}: This is a placeholder representing the path to the Redis configuration file. The actual path should be specified according to your system's directory structure.

By providing the path to the Redis configuration file, you can start the Redis server with specific settings defined in that file. The configuration file includes various parameters such as the server port, database filepath, and other Redis-specific settings.

For example, if the Redis configuration file is located at /etc/redis/redis.conf, the command would be:

redis-server /etc/redis/redis.conf

This command starts the Redis server using the configuration file at the specified path, overriding any default settings with the values specified in the configuration file.
