Redis Multiple Instance in FreeBSD

Question

im trying to learn FreeBSD, and i like to install multiple instance of Redis on it. i know this is easy in linux by just running the ./install_server script.

i've tried running the script from utils but as expected it wont work in bsd. as it installs in /etc/init.d

is there anyone who could direct me where to learn doing multiple instance of redis under freeBSD or teach me how to do it?

im new in freeBSD, and i want to learn it. i came from linux and OS X.

thank you in advance!

The default install on FreeBSD only runs one instance, as usual for daemons.

But you can run multiple instances by hand. Of course you'd have to write a different configuration file for each instance, using a separate port, and maybe a different directory where to dump databases.

Why not use multiple databases in one redis instance?
