I’m wondering if the icingadb-redis package has been deprecated or removed recently?
The last time I deployed Icinga from scratch (around the end of November 2025), the package icingadb-redis still existed and worked fine.
However, yesterday I reinstalled everything on a fresh setup and noticed that the package no longer exists — it can’t be found in the repositories anymore.
Is this change intentional?
For now, I’ve bypassed the issue by installing a standard redis-server package manually, and it seems to work fine, but I’d like to understand if that’s the expected way going forward or if something changed in the packaging.
Welcome to the Icinga Community and thanks for posting.
No, the icingadb-redis package is still the recommended way on officially supported distributions and should be available.
Please let us know which operating system or distribution you are using and in its version. Have you configured the Icinga package repositories? Please share the output if you try to install the package.
Thanks for your reply and sorry again for the confusion. I just realized that in my Puppet manifest, the manage_repos option for icingadb_redis was set to false, which meant the package was never added to APT.
Everything is clear now, and the package is indeed available when the repositories are managed correctly. Sorry again for the disturbance, and thanks a lot for your help!
