How to stop redis-server autostart

I am using Ubuntu to develop my website. Recently, I started to use redis.

When I started my computer, redis-server will start by its own.

What method can I stop my redis-server starting by itself?

For those looking for a more up-to-date solution. If your system is using systemd (Ubuntu 15.04 and up) the way to not launch it at start-up is:

sudo systemctl disable redis-server

systemctl admits "basically" these actions (check the following links for the complete list)

  • disable. Don't launch at boot.
  • enable. Launch at boot.
  • start. Launch it now.
  • stop. Stop it now.
  • status. To check if is running

As written in this answer:

For more details, see enabling-and-disabling-services and for the very long answer see this post

For more details, see this post on Digital Ocean and the man page for systemctl.

It seems that the redis-server package uses rc.d scripts, and the preferred way to deal with them in Ubuntu is using update-rc.d:

sudo update-rc.d redis-server disable

Should do the trick. You can also disable it in a certain runlevel only:

sudo update-rc.d redis-server disable 2
