It seems Redis cannot be reached. Is it installed? If yes, what does service redis status return? If is does not say "active (running)", you could try restarting it with sudo service redis restart. If you cannot get it to run, you could also try running it as a docker container (you may need to update the address/port in main.cfg then).

Hi star-star-87,

I'd be interested if you made any progress here. WSL(2) was always interesting to us as far as support, but we never made it work. If you were able to get FACT to run on any WSL (Kali or other), it would be useful to document the necessary environmental adaptations (if any).
