I have installed redis on an ubuntu 16.04 machine and if I run /usr/local/bin/redis-server /etc/redis/cluster/7000/redis.conf it starts up and I can connect to it without issues.
However I want to start it using systemctl start redis, so I have created the following file at /etc/systemd/system/redis7000.service
[Unit]
Description=Redis In-Memory Data Store
After=network.target
[Service]
User=redis
Group=redis
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/redis-server /etc/redis/cluster/7000/redis.conf
ExecStop=/usr/local/bin/redis-cli shutdown
Restart=always
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
and the redis config has supervised systemd set
which I think looks good, but I get the following errors:
Jan 19 14:54:27 ip-172-31-42-18 systemd[1]: Started Redis In-Memory Data Store.

Jan 19 14:54:27 ip-172-31-42-18 systemd[1]: Stopped Redis In-Memory Data Store.
And I am not even sure what this means, so could someone guide me in the right direction?
