/etc/systemd/redis-server@.service
# Templated service file for redis-server(1)
#
# Each instance of redis-server requires its own configuration file:
#
#   $ cp /etc/redis/redis.conf /etc/redis/redis-myname.conf
#   $ chown redis:redis /etc/redis/redis-myname.conf
#
# Ensure each instance is using their own database:
#
#   $ sed -i -e 's@^dbfilename .*@dbfilename dump-myname.rdb@' /etc/redis/redis-myname.conf
#
# We then listen exlusively on UNIX sockets to avoid TCP port collisions:
#
#   $ sed -i -e 's@^port .*@port 0@' /etc/redis/redis-myname.conf
#   $ sed -i -e 's@^\(# \)\{0,1\}unixsocket .*@unixsocket /var/run/redis-myname/redis-server.sock@' /etc/redis/redis-myname.conf
#
# ... and ensure we are logging, etc. in a unique location:
#
#   $ sed -i -e 's@^logfile .*@logfile /var/log/redis/redis-server-myname.log@' /etc/redis/redis-myname.conf
#   $ sed -i -e 's@^pidfile .*@pidfile /run/redis-myname/redis-server.pid@' /etc/redis/redis-myname.conf
#
# We can then start the service as follows, validating we are using our own
# configuration:
#
#   $ systemctl start redis-server@myname.service
#   $ redis-cli -s /var/run/redis-myname/redis-server.sock info | grep config_file

It is the vendor default for Debian 10 (Buster). Treat it as a baseline and review security and performance settings before production use.
