Following the instructions in https://redis.io/docs/stack/get-started/install/linux/

curl -fsSL https://packages.redis.io/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/redis-archive-keyring.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/redis-archive-keyring.gpg] https://packages.redis.io/deb $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/redis.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install redis-stack-server

the package cannot be found

apt-get install redis-stack-server

I can confirm. Following the docs doesn't work for debian.

I still cant install it on Ubuntu version 22
I get:
E: Unable to locate package redis-stack-server

Hi, I'm in the process of documenting this. but please try these instructions:

From Download, get the latest Stack snap package.

To install, run:

sudo snap install --dangerous --classic <snapname.snap>

Hi @nermiller! I tried the install with snap on a fresh ubuntu server, but after manually launching redis-stack-server, I get a bunch of errors:

mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/snap/redis-stack-server/x1/opt/redis-stack/var’: Read-only file system
touch: cannot touch '/snap/redis-stack-server/x1/opt/redis-stack/var/db/redis-stack/.testfile': No such file or directory
Starting redis-stack-server, database path /root
/snap/redis-stack-server/x1/opt/redis-stack/bin/redis-server: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I also tried Debian, Redhat and others versions of Ubuntu and it seems like at this point, there is no simple way to install redis-stack and run it.
Something like apt install redis-server-stack and systemctl start redis-server-stack would be awesome.

Is there any distribution you can recommend where it is that simple to install? I want to install it on a fresh server and distribution doesn't really matter to me.

[nermiller]

Thanks, @Vincz. I'll let the team know. We'll fix this ASAP.

[nermiller]

@Vincz while the team is working on the fix, you can use Docker. Hope that works for you!

[Vincz]

Hi @nermiller. Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, Docker is not an option for me at the moment.
I will follow this thread and wait for a fix.
Thanks

[nermiller]

Thanks in advance for your patience. I'll keep you posted.

Is there any update on this?

[Vincz]

Isn't it possible to have exactly the same packages as Redis itself but with redis-stack instead? At the end of the day, redis-stack is just redis & module, isn't it?

[chayim]

@Vincz - does this still happen?

I just removed all of the dockers on my system, and cold started everything on a debian:11 (bullseye) docker. This is literally what I did - to pull down the packages (for a new new docker) so YMMV.

apt update
apt install -y curl gpg sudo wget lsb-release
curl -fsSL https://packages.redis.io/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/redis-archive-keyring.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/redis-archive-keyring.gpg] https://packages.redis.io/deb $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/redis.list
apt-get update
apt-get install redis-stack-server

Previously, I had a gpg key mismatch error, with they key imported. But it appears to have resolved itself.

[akashbit]

Tried with yours, still no luck.

[chayim]

@akashbit What's your docker image or debian situation? The current hash of the latest bullseye image is 446440c01886, and that ran fine.

Do you have lsb-release installed? Mind sharing the output?

[akashbit]

doing it on ubuntu22.04 ... followed exactly your guide. not docker.

[chayim]

Ah- I see, this issue is a mix. I've since split the Ubuntu 22.04 issue into #126. This one focuses on Debian11.

As for the Ubuntu issue, I think I have a lead on that. It appears that packages can no longer be in repositories, using the old x86_64 platform. Starting with Jammy it appears that Ubuntu no longer auto translates that to amd64. So... I'm making changes. Hopefully this closes shortly.

[akashbit]

thanks @chayim

Any time :D

Any updates on this one?

Neither the package redis-stack nor redis-stack-server seem to be included in the package lists fetched via https://packages.redis.io/deb

# /etc/apt/sources.list.d/redis.list
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/redis-archive-keyring.gpg] https://packages.redis.io/deb bullseye main

lz4cat /var/lib/apt/lists/packages.redis.io_deb_dists_bullseye_main_binary-all_Packages.lz4 | grep redis-stack -c
0

This effectively means, we cannot build our custom Debian derived docker image with redis stack. (Due to policies, the official image is not an option 😢 )

[Ayfri]

Any update ?

[xtreamtrader]

Any update, please?

[gaspard-lonchampt]

I'm on Debian on WSL and still get the same error, does anyone foud a solution ?

[manastunga787]

Follow the official instruction https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/oss_and_stack/install/install-stack/linux and got error message Unable to locate package redis-stack-server on Ubuntu Server 24.04

Then tried the same on Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS and the installation is success 😊

[nhymxu]

@manastunga787 because they not have any build for Ubuntu 24.04

I create PR for this redis-stack/redis-stack#566
will waiting they check and test

This Appears to be the issue still in 2024 August. More than a year has passed but no fix?

Any update on this ?

[zeroepix]

I'm using Ubuntu24 and had the same "Unable to locate package redis-stack-server" error, but I managed to install it using snap. I assume if you're willing to install/use snap on Debian it might work on that too.

I followed these instructions: https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/oss_and_stack/install/install-stack/linux/#on-ubuntu-with-snap

Now...if only I can figure out how to configure it...
