Download the file, back up the current one in /etc/systemd/redis-server.service, replace it, then reload or restart Redis.
Is redis-server.service safe for production?
It is the vendor default for Debian 9 (Stretch). Treat it as a baseline and review security and performance settings before production use.
How does this differ from other OS versions?
Defaults vary by distro and version. This copy matches Debian 9 (Stretch).
Can I use this for Redis troubleshooting?
Yes. Diff it against yours to find drift, then restore only the sections you need.
