Expected behavior

I would expect sudo service redis-server status to show an "Active: active (running) ..." status.

Actual behavior

Instead I get:

● redis-server.service - Advanced key-value store
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/redis-server.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: inactive (dead)
       Docs: http://redis.io/documentation,
             man:redis-server(1)

After manually running sudo service redis-server start I get:

● redis-server.service - Advanced key-value store
     Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/redis-server.service; disabled; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: active (running) since Mon 2020-07-27 07:48:47 UTC; 2s ago
       Docs: http://redis.io/documentation,
             man:redis-server(1)
    Process: 4497 ExecStart=/usr/bin/redis-server /etc/redis/redis.conf (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
   Main PID: 4513 (redis-server)
      Tasks: 5 (limit: 2320)
     Memory: 3.6M
     CGroup: /system.slice/redis-server.service
             └─4513 /usr/bin/redis-server 127.0.0.1:6379

Steps to reproduce

1. Install laravel homestead 11.0.1
2. vagrant up

Same problem here...same workaround...

Please read the release notes about enabling/disabling services: https://github.com/laravel/homestead/releases/tag/v11.0.0

@svpernova09 Where in the release notes does it state that you have to explicitly enable _Redis_ from now on? It's also nowhere to be found in this list. Little bit confusing to be honest, as you never needed to do this for _Redis_ prior to this release (as opposed for other services like webdriver or mariadb).

[svpernova09]

Hrm, Sorry about that. I guess it's not as clear as I remembered.

Essentially you need to add a services section to Homestead.yaml and add redis-server to the enabled list:

services:
    - enabled:
        - "redis-server"

[michaeldzjap]

Ok, thanks for confirming! I will give that a try. Might be good to add it to the documentation though.

With the next 20.04 base box release redis-server should start automatically https://github.com/laravel/settler/commit/064a6e8935191e700a13fb6dae3ab2dffe1cd7a6

Was having same issue. Tried to update with 'vagrant box update' but said 10.0.0-beta was the latest (is that true?), But luckily svpernova09's suggestion to edit the Homestead.yml fixed it for me. Thanks svpernova09!
