At boot, Redis does not launch automatically.
I Install on Ubuntu 22.04

[dwdougherty]

Thank you, @frank-kios.

I just installed Ubuntu 22.04 on a GCP VM. After installing Redis per the docs, the Redis server did indeed start automatically. Not sure what's different between my installation and yours. My terminal SSH follows.

reboot it and test the result

[dwdougherty]

Yeah... it doesn't restart after a reboot. I'll amend the docs to say that you might have to configure it to restart.

Thanks.
