&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;== Questions ==&lt;br /&gt;
* Can the player database backend be any of the backends used for the map?&lt;br /&gt;
* Can the player database backend be different from the one selected for the map?&lt;br /&gt;
* How to use redis_hash?&lt;br /&gt;
* Can multiple maps/playerdb be in the same .rdb file?&lt;br /&gt;
* Looking at /src/database-redis.cpp, the use of redis_password is not documented here.&lt;br /&gt;
* https://troydhanson.github.io/network/Unix_domain_sockets.html, under section Linux Abstract Socket Namespace: Is this true? If so, src/database-redis.cpp does not allow for it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Redis ==&lt;br /&gt;
I use Redis for Cash&amp;#039;s World. I have compiled a new 0.4.15-dev client/server and am currently working on setting it up to take over the old 0.4.14 server.&lt;br /&gt;
My not knowing Redis well is causing me to do this very slowly.&lt;br /&gt;
I will soon find out if I can use Redis for the player data.&lt;br /&gt;
Hmmm. I will need a method to remove junk player files from the database. It will not as easy as it used to be.&lt;br /&gt;
I think I will continue using files for now until that is solved.&lt;br /&gt;
I am trying to find out how I can have multiple maps and/or multiple player databases using the same Redis instance if possible.&lt;br /&gt;
I assume redis_hash has something to do with that. But idk what to set redis_hash to.&lt;br /&gt;
Looks like the Redis server can be on a different machine than the MT server and use encryption. Awesome xD&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== [DONE] New databases ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the Wiki Complaint Department:&lt;br /&gt;
:The database backend comparison table (https://wiki.minetest.net/Database_backends#Comparison_table) should be updated, LevelDB authentication and player databases were added in https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/9476 and https://github.com/minetest/minetest/pull/9982 respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
