What is the method for starting Redis on Ubuntu?

There are several ways to start Redis on Ubuntu.

1. To start Redis using commands: Input the following command in the terminal to start Redis.

redis-server

By default, Redis will use the default configuration file located at /etc/redis/redis.conf. To use a different configuration file, you can use the following command:

redis-server /path/to/redis.conf

1. Start Redis using system services: On Ubuntu, Redis can be started and managed as a system service. Use the following command to start the Redis service:

sudo service redis-server start

You can use the stop, restart, and status options to stop, restart, and check the status of the Redis service.

1. To start Redis using systemd: In newer versions of Ubuntu, you can use systemd to start Redis. Use the following command to start the Redis service:

sudo systemctl start redis-server

You can use the stop, restart, and status parameters to stop, restart, and check the status of the Redis service.

Regardless of the method used to start Redis, you can check if Redis is running by using the following command after starting it.

redis-cli ping

If PONG is returned, it means Redis is running.
