Newest Discourse Version breaks rebuild, Redis Port already in use

OS: Ubuntu 20.04
Server: vServer 4 Core, 16 GB
Disk: SSD 160GB

I recently upgraded to the newest Discourse Version. Now Im running into the Problem, that Discourse Reports Port 6379 is in use and so the Container can not be build:

When I check for all Ports in use, that Port is free

Something on the Discourse Check fails to recognize, that the port is free.
In Docker I can see, that only the Discourse Container started and everything else fails:

This problem really turned into a Paradox.
Discourse starts the redis-server pid in Docker and then crashes, because it started the process already:

I have a main Redis Installation on the Host running, but that one is on Port 6800, so it shouldn’t interferre.

It clearly looks, like the Check fails on itself, because Redis Starts itself succesfull and then reports failed, adress in use:

Can you please share your app.yml file?

Can you also post the full rebuild output?

I’m pretty sure that the lines you see happen in every rebuild since forever and don’t block the rebuild in any way, since we are just ensuring redis is running in two different hooks. Your problem is elsewhere.

Sure. If you need any other logs, I can provide them :slight_smile:
I posted them on pastebin, because it’s over 3226 Lines and exceeds the Forum post limit: Pastebin.com - Potentially offensive content ahead!

That output shows a successful rebuild…

Isn’t your site working on port 12080 ?

Yes the the SIte is rebuilding again successful.
I found out the cause of the problem, why the site didnt load properly on me.
The fault was in a SSL Reverse Cert, which didnt autorenew and caused the site to not load the Images, which let me to assume, that the Redis Cache was not working :man_facepalming:

The Build shows the notice, but the Redis Server runs fine.
After renewing the SSL Cert, the site worked again.

Thanks for you support and sorry for my stupidity :sweat_smile:
