How to create multiple memcached servers on the same machine?

Question

memcached

The task is as follows: there are several sites on the same machine, how to create a separate memcached server for each site? Or should we limit ourselves to just adding a prefix to the key when adding a value to memcached?

Answer 1

What is the distribution?
Since you don't want to write, the answer is something like "write a start script for the init system in your distribution."
In Debian, the script is already tuned to run several daemons:
# Usage:
# cp /etc/memcached.conf /etc/memcached_server1.conf
# cp /etc/memcached.conf /etc/memcached_server2.conf
# start all instances:
# /etc/ init.d/memcached start
# start one instance:
# /etc/init.d/memcached start server1
# stop all instances:
# /etc/init.d/memcached stop
# stop one instance:
# /etc/init.d/ memcached stop server1
# There is no "status" command.

I don’t remember exactly, but it’s enough for mine to run memcached with different ports and pid files.
For example, here are the launch parameters, X - replace with something:
-m 1024 -l 0.0.0.0 -p 1121X -u root -P /var/run/memcachedX.pid -d
