HOWTO: Setting up a parallel redis service as a custom service?

[kvaradhan3]

Redis suggests running separate instances for different applications, and I am trying ot see how to accomplish this.

Right now, I have:

~ ➜ brew config                                                   ⚡▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▯ 13:05:39

unbound        none    root
vault          started kvaradhan ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.vault.plist

If I want to start a second instance, this doesn't work:

~ ➜ brew services start redis --file=~/Library/LaunchAgents/redis-my-db.plist ⚡▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▮▯ 13:16:11
Usage: brew services [subcommand]

Manage background services with macOS' launchctl(1) daemon manager or Linux's
systemctl(1) service manager.
...

neither does this:

~ ➜ brew services start my-redis --file=~/Library/LaunchAgents/redis-my-db.plist
Error: No available formula with the name "my-redis". Did you mean redis?
~ ➜ brew services start myredis --file=~/Library/LaunchAgents/redis-my-db.plist
Error: No available formula with the name "myredis". Did you mean redis or iredis?

How would I start a custom redis service instance for my application, or actually define my own service?

Thanks,

Kannan

That's not a supported use case for brew services
