Customize User And Group

By default, Redis Software is installed with the user:group redislabs:redislabs.

During installation, you can specify the user and group that own all Redis Software processes.

Considerations

• Custom installation user is supported on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and compatible distributions.

• You must create the user and group before installing Redis Software.

• You must install Redis Software on all nodes in the cluster with the same user and group.

• You can specify an LDAP user as the installation user.

• If you specify the user only, then installation is run with the primary group that the user belongs to.

Install with custom user or group

To customize the user or group during [installation]({{< relref "/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/install/install-on-linux" >}}), include the --os-user or --os-group [command-line options]({{< relref "/operate/rs/installing-upgrading/install/install-script" >}}) when you run the install.sh script.

sudo ./install.sh --os-user <user> --os-group <group>
