Hi Jaromil,
When you contact them, you might want to also give them the runit run
script for redis from the Void distro:
=====================================================================
#!/bin/sh
if [ ! -d /var/lib/redis ]; then
mkdir -m0700 -p /var/lib/redis
fi
chown redis:redis /var/lib/redis
if [ ! -d /run/redis ]; then
mkdir -m0750 -p /run/redis
fi
chown redis:redis /run/redis
exec chpst -u redis:redis redis-server /etc/redis/redis.conf > /dev/null
=====================================================================
Everything but the last line sets up properly permissioned directories.
The last line replaces the run script's process with redis-server,
running as user redis, group redis, configured
by /etc/redis/redis.conf. The fact that it's piped to /dev/null means
no logging takes place, which is kind of weird. Maybe redis has a
logging facility of its own???
I installed it on my Void box, and it runs the command
redis-server 127.0.0.1:6379
as a daemon.
Thanks,
