Redis Config Settings

You should probably set a maxmemory policy to avoid OOM errors, other than that Google is your friend: https://rtfm.co.ua/en/draft-eng-redis-main-configuration-parameters-and-performance-tuning-overview/

Thats great thank you. I added at the end

maxmemory 256mb
maxmemory-policy allkeys-lru

I hope you dont mind if I ask another question –

In /etc/redis/redis.conf it says Redis must be started with the config file path as first argument.
On my Google Cloud Platform VM Redis starts by itself so will it read what I change in the config file?

Thanks

The GCP team can answer that. I’m not familiar with it.

For the sake of anyone who might read this it does seem to read the config file.
