Hi, Hestia community
I want to ask whether is there any solution to run Redis with HestiaCP. I follow up on all methods on the Internet but I can still not enable Redis on my server
My OS: Debian 11
My PHP: 7.4.28
Methods that I have tried:
Set permission 755 for /etc/redis/redis.conf & /var/log/redis
Set owner redis:redis for /etc/redis/redis.conf & /var/log/redis
Change value from “supervised no” to “supervised systemd” of redis.conf file
=====================
Any experts, can you please give me any another solution to fix it
Hi @eris
I tried to install php7.4-redis but it does not change
When I run “systemctl status redis-server” command, it prints
redis-server.service - Advanced key-value store
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/redis-server.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2022-04-20 06:08:02 EDT; 25s ago

and the redis error log shows:

Redis runs fine on our HestiaCP machine with Debian 11 and PHP 7.4.
We simply installed the Redis package, rebooted the server, Redis starts and runs. Nothing to edit in permissions etc. We’ve been using it with our Magento install with no issues.
can confirm running Redis in parallel should not be an issue, there is nothing conflicting in HestiaCP.
if it does not run, that’s rather related to the specific system or custom settings.
maybe simply apt purge it and reinstall? make sure the purge doesn’t have leftovers anyway…
the error message seems to be a quite common one and people indeed recommend looking into permissions. to check that you probably want to also check under which user redis tries to run (is it really redis?)
a few more things that come to mind:
does /var/log/redis hold any more info to what you already posted?
what port it is configured to run on? can you make sure, that nothing else is running on that port?
has you machine IPv6 enabled/configured/disabled? …maybe redis tries to bind to local IPv6 but fails?
lastly, how large is your machine/do you have enough free memory and if it’s a virtual machine, what kind of virtualization do you use (kvm/lxc/ovz)?
do you use some template from a provider of yours or is deb 11 installed from an official ISO?
PS: of course you could install redis-server even before installing hestia - just if you would want to try and set up everything from scratch and make sure it does not depend on any components hestia installs.
Hi @Falzo,
My VPS is KVM-based
It runs on Minimal Debian 11 Bullseye (v11.3) template
Their spec is very excessive (5 Cores 3.5GHz+ / 10GB RAM / 100GB Storage)
This is the first time I try to install redis-server by myself. I have tried it 3-4 times with many solutions from the Internet but it’s still failed
this seems odd. it should work out of the box if you install it via apt, there is not much to it.
I am not aware of any news or specifics with redis under debian 11, but haven’t run that combination myself so far. yet, as said, it should not be related to HestiaCP at all… just tried on a system running ub20, hestia, docker, xrdp and some more things in parallel just fine - and redis started immediately after the install.
maybe (if possible) try to use a different template from your provider (deb10/ub20) or reinstall using an ISO image and check if an apt install redis does it’s job there…
Hi @falzo,
I have tried to install redis-server first and find everything is OK.
After that, I tried to install HestiaCP and all things are working fine.
I don’t know why it happens like that
Do you think it’s caused by UFW / IP Tables / Fail2Ban ?
hmm, weird. I have no answer to that… as written above I picked a random server of mine where I knew it wasn’t installed and tried and it did work out of the box.
did you reinstall your VM before your last try? maybe there really was something of with the providers install before… my best guess as already said would be something off with the network config, so that your redis-server could not bind to a port or interfaces correctly may it be IPv4 or IPv6.
I finally find the solution for installing Redis (after installing HestiaCP)
After 6 times install & remove redis-server to find the solution, I realize that we only need to change 1 line inside /etc/redis/redis.conf FROM
bind 127.0.0.1 ::1
TO
bind 127.0.0.1
Then everything will work correctly without any issue (don’t need to change anything more)
Thank you so much for your support!
Have a nice day.
just to clarify, ::1 in that context tells redis to try and bind to IPv6 locally. so, as I wrote before it seems your server has IPv6 disabled or wrong configured.
this caused to redis fail on trying to bind to that, it could be more clear about that within the logs though…
