Originally created by @squigley on GitHub (Jan 31, 2020).

The documentation is missing instructions to make sure redis is started (and enabled), so when you run the migration script, for a new install, it fails as it cannot connect to redis.

I suggest adding the following to the redis section:

Make sure that redis is started and enabled to automatically start at boot.

Ubuntu

# service redis-server start
# systemctl enable redis-server
CentOS

# service redis start
# systemctl enable redis

This is ridiculous. The documentation is broken when you follow it verbatim. I try to fix it, and get people putting more effort into arguing with me about how I submitted the way to fix it, than just fixing it. Waste of my time. I won't bother again.
