Redis-Server after first installation not working

My YunoHost server

Hardware: VPS bought online
YunoHost version: 11.1.21.4 (stable)
I have access to my server : Through SSH
Are you in a special context or did you perform some particular tweaking on your YunoHost instance ? : no

Description of my issue

I installed Yunohost on my server, everything works fine after installation. However, the redis-server does not start. I have restarted both the service and the VPS itself. Everything is also updated to the latest state of system in yunohost. I have not made any changes in the system. A pure Yunohost installation on a fresh Debian 11 VPS.

Sounds like maybe your server is in fact a LXC and maybe needs some priviledge permission … What does systemd-detect-virt returns ?

3

Thanks for the response. systemd-detect-virt returns lxc as answer.

4

Then somehow your LXC is not set as privileged=true (not sure about the exact name). Or maybe it only needs nesting=true

5

Okay, good to know, thanks. Can I change this myself? Or is this configuration up to the hoster?

6

This is something to be done by the person / entity that provides you with the LXC

7

Okay, thanks for the info.
