ABORT due to redis_safeguard enabled

This means the Redis instance you are trying to remove has the safeguard enabled: this happens when attempting to remove a Redis instance with redis_safeguard set to true. The redis-rm.yml playbook refuses to execute to prevent accidental deletion of running Redis instances.

You can override this protection with the CLI argument -e redis_safeguard=false to force removal of the Redis instance. This is what redis_safeguard is designed for.

How to add a new Redis instance on a node?

How to remove a specific instance from a node?

Use bin/redis-rm <ip> <port> to remove a single Redis instance from the node.

Are there plans to upgrade to Valkey or the latest version?

Pigsty v4.1 still uses Redis 7.2 BSD branch as the default implementation, and has not switched to newer Redis license variants or Valkey as the default component. Redis patch versions may differ across OS channels (for example, APT can provide 7.2.7). Please use the package version in your actual repository as the source of truth.
