Redis files ownership (OS user/group) on Linux
Last updated 18, Apr 2024
Question
Is it possible to change ownership (Linux user and group) of the Redis Software during the upgrade or after installation?
Answer
Custom installation is supported by RedHat Enterprise Linux version 7.
During the installation from scratch, you can specify the user and group that owns all Redis Enterprise Software processes. If you specify the user only, the installation runs with the primary group the user belongs to. Refer to the documentation.
It is impossible to change Redis file ownership without re-installing the node. Custom install locations and user and group cannot be altered after bootstrapping the node.
