# 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;

🙏 This is an open-source project. Star this repository, if you like it, or even donate to maintain the servers and the development. Thank you so much!

Possible, this server, rarely, is down, please, hang on for 15-30 minutes and the server will be back up.

All my domains ([patrikx3.com](https://patrikx3.com) and [corifeus.com](https://corifeus.com)) could have minor errors, since I am developing in my free time. However, it is usually stable.

**Note about versioning:** Versions are cut in Major.Minor.Patch schema. Major is always the current year. Minor is either 4 (January - June) or 10 (July - December). Patch is incremental by every build. If there is a breaking change, it should be noted in the readme.
