Redis package not supporting Systemd notify (again)? about redis-debian HOT 9 CLOSED

@yossigo Good catch! I had missed that regressing in my config. I've actually set it to systemd. It's working now. Thanks a lot.

from redis-debian.

@readingtype Looks like the build was not done with libsystemd. Can you take a look at the latest package? I noticed that some builds failed due to flaky tests but Focal/arm64 should be OK.

from redis-debian.

@yossigo Sure. I have removed 6:6.0.8 installed yesterday. However there seems to be an issue in that there's no redis-server at 6:6.0.9-3rl1-focal. Please point out my mistakes!

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

I admit I haven't fully grasped the nature of the relationship between redis and redis-server packages (especially as I don't see redis-server in the redis/redis-debian PPA), but the apt-cache policy info looks like this:

`
$ apt-cache policy redis

Note to say after messing around with apt for a while I got an updated installation using

$sudo apt-get install redis=6:6.0.9-2rl1~focal1

from redis-debian.

@readingtype Apparently the packages took longer than expected to get built on launchpad. You should be able to find 6.0.9-3rl1 available now and hopefully the systemd issue is resolved. Please let me know if that's not the case.

from redis-debian.

@yossigo Thanks. I can confirm 6:6.0.9-3rl1~focal1 is installed.

On a VM with amd_64 and Ubuntu 18.04 the Notify setting is allowing the unit to load properly. Great!

On the machine I'm more interested in, which is aarch_64 and Ubuntu 20.04, the unit still won't load and the server is restarted endlessly.

So:

• 6:6.0.9-3rl1~bionic1 OK.
• 6:6.0.9-3rl1~focal1 not OK.

I hope this narrows the issue down! Apologies that I didn't report the release version on the VM earlier.

from redis-debian.

@readingtype Thanks for clarifying that. I went back to the build logs and I can confirm that 6.0.9-3rl1 does build with libsystemd on arm64 as well, so it doesn't seem like a build issue - could be a real bug.

Any logs that may give us a hint about what's wrong?

from redis-debian.

@yossigo The only log I know of is the one from the instance. The extract attached shows what is logged endlessly when systemd tries to start the instance in notify mode. I've included two cycles. The SIGTERM is from systemd.

@readingtype I've just confirmed that it does indeed work, also on Ubuntu 20.04 / arm64 platforms.
Can you make sure your Redis configuration includes daemonize no and supervised auto?
