Can redis be run as daemon on Linux without root?

[queonda]

I'd like to run redis as a daemon under a shared account, installed under a custom directory:

/home/[user]/

Is this possible? Is nohup ./redis-server the only way to do this?

[Jeremy Zawodny]

Yes, you can easily do that.  The nohup isn't even necessary if you config file tells redis to daemonize.

Sure! The redis-server program can run just fine under any user account. Personally, I prefer to run all my daemons under something like Runit or Upstart or God or Supervisord, which makes the whole process simple, and restarts them if they happen to crash. Here's a short explanation of how to run Redis with Upstart, which is installed by default on Ubuntu:
