Hello you all,
I am writing this to ask about a problem I've been facing lately, after changing the configuration of my redis service from a root user to a non-root user in my container, i've been facing this problem:
12408:C 02 Jul 2024 17:01:53.299 # WARNING Memory overcommit must be enabled! Without it, a background save or replication may fail under low memory condition. Being disabled, it can also cause failures without low memory condition, see https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/issues/1328. To fix this issue add 'vm.overcommit_memory = 1' to /etc/sysctl.conf and then reboot or run the command 'sysctl vm.overcommit_memory=1' for this to take effect.

12408:M 02 Jul 2024 17:01:53.301 . The AOF directory appendonlydir doesn't exist
12408:M 02 Jul 2024 17:01:53.301 # Can't open or create append-only dir appendonlydir: Permission denied
Here's my config
` [program:redis-server]
command=redis-server --requirepass foobared --appendonly yes --loglevel debug --logfile path/redis-server.log --stop-writes-on-bgsave-error no --save ""
user=my-user
priority=2
autostart=false
dependent_startup=true `
it is mainly related to the fact that my user is not able to create the appendonly folder, does anyone have an idea how to solve it ?
Thank you in advance.

The problem was solved, it was solved by changing the working directory of redis to a directory owned by my-user using the next argument --dir /home/my-user instead of the default directory which is /var/lib/redis.
