service_user not working

[steverecio]

This might be a result of my misunderstanding but using the service_user keyword, I'm only able to modify the owner of the redis-sentinel process but not the redis-server process. I can see this from the compiled /etc/init.d files. If I try to run redis-server, I get an error because the logfile is owned by the user I specified in service_user but the server process is run as the service_user default (redis:redis). Is there a plan to add support for this in the redis-server?

@steverecio The service_user is more to allow the different OS's to specify which user needs to own the redis process.

To manage the user that actually runs the redis service, you'd have to manage the service file (init script or systemd service file). What's the motivation for that? Could you give me an example of what you're trying to achieve? What user do you want redis to run as?
