config Redis Service

Dot not start redis service after install, we need to config redis service first.

redis default config file is located at /etc/redis/redis.conf,but we dot not use this file, we use /etc/redis/minimal-redis.conf instead.

file demo /etc/redis/minimal-redis.conf:

the file is a minimal configuration file for redis, we can use this file to start redis service.

# Redis minimal configuration file

# Specify the Redis server port
port 6379

# Specify the directory for storing data files
dir /var/lib/redis

# Specify the log file (empty string for standard output)
logfile ""

# Bind to localhost to accept connections only from the local machine
bind 127.0.0.1

# Set the database number (default is 16)
databases 16

# Disable protected mode to allow connections only from localhost
protected-mode yes

Arch Redis start service file is located at /usr/lib/systemd/system/redis.service

the config file use Chinese locale, so we need to add locale config to the service file.
