# startup with default settings on 7843 port
p3x-redis 

# if you want to disable changing of connections
p3x-redis --readonly-connections
# or
p3x-redis -r
# or
p3x-redis --config /home/p3x-redis-ui/p3xrs.json
# mix
p3x-redis --config /home/p3x-redis-ui/p3xrs.json --readonly-connections
```

# Create a Linux SystemD service
```bash
adduser --disabled-password p3x-redis-ui
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;
