Error when starting Discourse, Redis port already in use

AI-generated summary

MST2 is experiencing an error when starting Discourse, with Redis port 6379 reported as already in use. Despite not having anything else running on that port, the issue persists. The server runs Debian, and MST2 has a Minecraft server, but it uses a different port. Stephen asks for details about the installation, Docker setup, and plugins. MST2 confirms using the official install guide and only has one plugin. After installing net-tools, MST2 runs netstat -tulpn | grep 6379, but no output is returned, suggesting the port may not be in use, which contradicts the error message.

Alright, so a recently I got a message from my Uptime Monitor that my Discourse Forum went down. I checked what was going on. It was offline. Though the server it was running on was online. I rebuilt the app to start it again.
Then I got this error:

The only error messages I found, were following:

I don‘t have anything else running under that port though.

Can anyone help me? I do not know what I should do.

Thanks in advance.

Could anyone help me?

How was this installed?

What else is on the machine if anything?

It was installed a while ago following the install guide. It just randomly went offline.

I run a Minecraft Server on the Server too. Though, it does not use Redis and it uses port 19132 so that should not be a problem. It has always worked with it. What I have noticed though, that if I go to the domain to my forum I get a page from nginx saying it works.

@Stephen

If you docker ps what do you see? What’s the output of docker info?

Which plugins do you have installed?

Sorry for the late response:

I only had one plugin installed, the Check Mark thing for support.

@Stephen

And if you netstat -tulpn | grep 6379 ?

Command not found.
Do I need to run it in the discourse folder?

Is the server running ubuntu?

If so sudo apt-get install net-tools

The path you run it from isn’t important.

It‘s running debian, which is basically ubuntu… Yeah.
I‘ll install that then I will run the command.


Nothing happens
