How can I run redis on a single server on different ports?

kue, node-redis, redis

Solution

Launch redis-server and supply a different argument for 'port' which can be done on the command-line:

edd@max:~$ redis-server -h
Usage: ./redis-server [/path/to/redis.conf] [options]
       ./redis-server - (read config from stdin)
       ./redis-server -v or --version
       ./redis-server -h or --help
       ./redis-server --test-memory <megabytes>

Examples:
       ./redis-server (run the server with default conf)
       ./redis-server /etc/redis/6379.conf
       ./redis-server --port 7777
       ./redis-server --port 7777 --slaveof 127.0.0.1 8888
       ./redis-server /etc/myredis.conf --loglevel verbose

Sentinel mode:
       ./redis-server /etc/sentinel.conf --sentinel
edd@max:~$

You can do this from, say, `/etc/rc.local` as well so that this happens at startup.

But maybe you can also rethink your approach. Redis is so good at handling writes that you may just get by with a second database?

Problem

I'm using kue which uses node_redis, but I'm also already using `node_redis` for my sessions, so I'd like to have `kue` create a server on a specific port say the default `6379` and then `kue` listen on port `1234`. How would I be able to do this? I found this article which talks about something similar, but I don't really want to have to create an init script to do this.
