Using Topshelf to package Redis for Windows services

The Redis server is currently running with a console program, and it feels better to run as a Windows service backend when deployed. Found an article running Redis as a Windows Service, implemented with Windows Installer. If you use Topshelf, it is not compatible with mono, so you write your own, the implementation is very simple, the code has been published on GitHub Redis-topshelf.

How do I use it?

1. Punch-in profile, the configuration file is described as follows:

Redis.service.name	Service Name
Redis.service.displayname	Service Display Name
Redis.service.description	Service description
Redis.server	Redis Server Run file name
Redis.conf	Redis Profile Name
Redis.cli	Reids Client Path file name
Redis.path	Reids root directory

If you are downloading the latest version of Redis, the Redis file name should be the same, just specify the root directory where the Reids is located.

2. Installing and uninstalling the WINDWOS service

Install the service execution file Install.bat, uninstall the service execution file Uninstall.bat.

The results are as follows:

Of course, you can also directly run the file Redis-topshelf.exe start the service as a console:
