how to define extra configuration for Redis service?

Hi Guix,

I'd like to add extra configuration parameters to a redis server, this
is a sample configuration (I could then use to add more config
parameters):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
	   ;; Redis server
	   (service redis-service-type
 		    (redis-configuration
		     (config-file
 		      (plain-file "redis.conf"
				  "
bind 192.168.133.255
port 6379
dir /var/lib/redis
daemonize no
"))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Reading the redis-shepherd-service source code in
gnu/services/databases.scm I thought that the config file I defined is
going to replace the default one, but when I reconfigure the service I
see the redis-server process is started like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

/gnu/store/5w6nlzd2nrns479whwcz7il5mgf5024s-redis-4.0.10/bin/redis-server 127.0.0.1:6379

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I expected to see something like

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

/gnu/store/5w6nlzd2nrns479whwcz7il5mgf5024s-redis-4.0.10/bin/redis-server /gnu/store/...-redis.conf

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

with the content of redis.conf as defined above [1]


Plase am I doing something wrong?

Thanks! Gio'


[1] the redis quickstart doc states: "In order to start Redis with a
configuration file use the full path of the configuration file as first
argument, like in the following example: redis-server /etc/redis.conf. "
