touch /etc/systemd/system/p3x-redis-ui.service
nano /etc/systemd/system/p3x-redis-ui.service
```
Place this file with this content:
```text
[Unit]
Description=p3x-redis
After=network.target
[Service]
Type=simple
User=p3x-redis-ui
WorkingDirectory=/home/p3x-redis-ui
# or if you want readonly connections as it is public
#ExecStart=/usr/bin/p3x-redis --readonly-connections
#ExecStart=/usr/bin/p3x-redis --readonly-connections --config /home/p3x-redis-ui/p3xrs.json
ExecStart=/usr/bin/p3x-redis
Restart=on-abort
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
```
Finally:
```bash
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable p3x-redis-ui
service p3x-redis-ui start
```
The server is loading at:
[http://localhost:7843](http://localhost:7843)
The best is, if you have an NGINX with a valid, secure HTTPS certificate for example Let's Encrypt and then use it as a proxy, for example my own:
```text
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/p3x.redis.patrikx3.com
```
For free SSL certificate, I use `acme.sh`:
https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh
Config:
```text
server {
listen 80 ;
listen [::]:80 ;
server_name p3x.redis.patrikx3.com;
error_log /var/log/nginx/p3x.redis.patrikx3.com-error.log;
access_log /var/log/nginx/p3x.redis.patrikx3.com-access.log combined;

# make sure this path existing and has read for nginx
root /var/www/acme-challenge;
}

}
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
