How can I check the data storage location of Redis?

To find out the location where Redis stores its data, you can determine the data file storage path by looking at the Redis configuration file. One common method is as follows:

You can connect to the Redis server by using the redis-cli command to connect to the local Redis server through the command line, or by specifying the host and port to connect to a remote server.
Use the command CONFIG GET dir in the Redis command line to view the storage location of the data files. This command will return the data file storage path specified in the Redis server configuration.
To find the exact path of the data files, you can append the specified file name from the Redis configuration to the returned path. For example, if the returned path is /var/lib/redis, then the path to the data file would be /var/lib/redis/dump.rdb.

Please note that Redis also has a persistence method known as Append Only File (AOF), which appends each write operation to a file. To find the storage location of the AOF file, you can use the CONFIG GET dir command to view the path where the AOF file is typically stored, usually in the same directory as the Redis data file.
