Install Valkey 9.1 on Ubuntu 22.04
Ubuntu 22.04 doesn't ship Valkey. The current release is 9.1.3. freshdeb builds it for jammy from upstream's release with Debian's packaging, so it updates with apt upgrade like the rest of the system.

1Trust the signing key (once per machine)
sudo install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings curl -fsSL https://deb.freshdeb.com/freshdeb-archive-keyring.gpg \ | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/freshdeb-archive-keyring.gpg >/dev/null
Fingerprint 3BBD F03A 9C0B F890 F8CA 9510 7595 CC55 468F 3161. How to verify.
2Add the source for jammy
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/freshdeb-valkey.sources >/dev/null <<EOF Types: deb URIs: https://deb.freshdeb.com/valkey Suites: jammy Components: v9 Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/freshdeb-archive-keyring.gpg EOF
v9 follows the newest 9.x line, currently 9.1 (9.1.3). Upgrades to newer lines arrive on their own. Other components: v9.1, v9.0, v8, v8.1, v8.0, listed with the versions.
3Install
sudo apt update && sudo apt install valkey-server
apt policy valkey-server # expect 9.1.3-3+freshdeb~ubuntu22.04The other packages: valkey-sentinel, valkey-tools. What's different from Debian's package.
Before you install
Ubuntu 22.04 doesn't ship Valkey, so there's nothing to replace.
- Ubuntu 22.04
- Ubuntu 22.04 has no Valkey, only Redis 6.0 (
redis-server). Valkey reads thedump.rdbRedis writes, so data can move over. Both listen on port 6379 by default: stop one before starting the other.
Why a package
The official container image is the usual alternative. As a package, valkey-server runs under Debian's systemd unit as the valkey user with /etc/valkey/valkey.conf, and apt upgrade brings each patch release of the line you chose.
