redis-server: Start Redis server, using the default port (6379), and write logs to `stdout`.

redis-server

$ redis-server

try on your machine

The redis-server command is used to start the Redis server. Redis is an open-source, in-memory data structure store that is commonly used as a database, cache, or message broker.

When you run redis-server, it starts the Redis server process on your system, allowing you to interact with it using the Redis client. The Redis server is responsible for managing the data in memory, persisting it to disk if required, handling client connections, and processing Redis commands.

By default, the redis-server command looks for a configuration file (redis.conf) in the current directory, but you can specify a different configuration file using the --config flag followed by the file path.

Here is an example of how you would run the redis-server command in the terminal:

redis-server

This would start the Redis server using the default configuration file. You can then use a Redis client (such as redis-cli) to connect to the server and interact with the data.
