Many thanks for your report.

Could you run the following command in console and past its output here:

journalctl -u redis-server

@drieksje
Dammit, this setting was introduced with Redis 4 which is not yet shipped with Debian Stretch:

• https://github.com/antirez/redis/blob/4.0/00-RELEASENOTES
• https://packages.debian.org/stretch/redis-server

Please do:

sed -i '/always-show-logo/d' /etc/redis/redis.conf
systemctl restart redis-server

Fixed with: 357c929
Changelog: ecec709
Fixed on live systems via MOTD:

root@dietpi:~# cat /var/www/motd
...
[[ $G_DIETPI_VERSION_SUB == 2[78] && $G_DISTRO == 4 && -w '/DietPi/dietpi/dietpi-software' ]] && sed -i '/always-show-logo/d' /DietPi/dietpi/dietpi-software

[drieksje]

@drieksje
Jep sorry, the commands did only fix the bug in dietpi-software but did not include the reinstall. Glad that it worked.

hi, back again,
so i have VPN but i have to use username and password, so is there a openvpn client possible in dietpi-debian?????NEEDED badly,ISP is blocking torrents
thanks in advance

[MichaIng]

@drieksje
Of course, you can install OpenVPN the regular way as on default Debian and invoke e.g. some .ovpn file given by your provider. If provided by your VPN provider, WireGuard can be installed via dietpi-software as well and configured (meaning left unconfigured) to be used as client with a config file by your provider.

If you use or want to use NordVPN, you can as well install DietPi-NordVPN, which provides some easy-to-use GUI for server selection, credentials input etc.
