I'm trying to follow the Redis installation process as discuss in this article of digital ocean, in WSL. The Ubuntu version installed is Ubuntu 18.04.
Everything in redis installation is fine but when I tried to run this sudo systemctl start redis
I got this message.
System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.
Any Idea on what should I do with that?

If you are using Docker, you may try an image that has Ubuntu with System D already active with this command:
docker run -d --name redis --privileged -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup:ro jrei/systemd-ubuntu:18.04
Then you just need to run:
docker exec -it redis /bin/bash
and there you can just install Redis, start it, restart it or whatever you need.
This worked for me (using WSL)
sudo /etc/init.d/redis start
(for any other service, check the init.d folder for filenames)
You can simply run sudo service docker start
which will start running your docker server. You can check if you have the docker server by running service --status-all
, you should see docker listed.
use this command for run every service just write name service for example :
for xrdp :
sudo /etc/init.d/xrdp start
for redis :
sudo /etc/init.d/redis start
(for any other service, check the init.d folder for filenames)
I had this problem running WSL 2
the solution was the command
$ sudo dockerd
if after that you still have a problem with permission, run the command:
$ sudo usermod -aG docker your-user
Instead of using
sudo systemctl start redis
use:
sudo /etc/init.d/redis start
as of right now we do not have systemd in WSL
I encountered the same problem!
ps --no-headers -o comm 1
After running this in the terminal, the system will return either systemd or init
if it returns 'init', then the 'systemctl' command won't work for your system
For WSL2, I had to install cgroupfs-mount, than start the daemon, as described here:
sudo apt-get install cgroupfs-mount
sudo cgroupfs-mount
sudo service docker start
I was trying to start Docker within ubuntu and WSL.
This worked for me,
sudo service docker start
