Hi folks,
I try to setup a little local Minetest server, but I'm struggling setting up the redis server.

I'm running Ubuntu Server 14.04 64 Bit and Minetest 0.4.12 from the stable PPA. I created a simple world and then I try to migrate to Redis

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all: minetestserver --migrate redis Automatically selecting world at [/home/markus/.minetest/worlds/world] 10:38:08: ERROR[main]: Migration to redis is not supported

Any solution why this happens? The Redis server is running

Code: Select all: redis-server --version Redis server v=2.8.4 sha=00000000:0 malloc=jemalloc-3.4.1 bits=64 build=a44a05d76f06a5d9

Are you sure your minetestserver is compiled with redis?
It's an optional library and maybe not included in all binaries.

No idea what's compiled into the PPA version.

How can I compile minetestserver? I just found something for Minetest

You can adapt this script: viewtopic.php?f=42&t=3837

To disable client building, use -DBUILD_CLIENT=0 -DBUILD_SERVER=1 (both have to be specified).

I'd advise against Calinou's script because it installs a lot of unneeded dependencies if you only need the server.
This should work equally well without requiring all the dependencies:
* Install sqlite3, libhiredis and luajit
* Download the irrlicht sources
* Clone minetest github repository
* Run cmake with -DIRRLICHT_INCLUDE_DIR=<path to irrlicht>/include -DBUILD_CLIENT=0 -DBUILD_SERVER=1 -DENABLE_REDIS=1
* Build minetestserver and install it.
