Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions

• Puppet:
  • Server: 7.9.2
  • Agent: 7.20.0
• Ruby:

• Module version: v8.5.0

How to reproduce (e.g Puppet code you use)

Running below code on ubuntu 22.04 which installs the redis-server & redis-tools using ppa package but fails to start the redis.service(systemd).

Error is unable to create redis.sock because directory /var/run/redis is not available. If I create this directory manually & changes, its ownershipt to redis:redis then it works.

class { '::redis':
    bind                     => '0.0.0.0',
    daemonize          => false,
    databases           => 16,
    manage_repo      => true,
    maxclients           => 4000,
    package_ensure  => $package_ensure,
    port                      => 6379,
    ppa_repo             => 'ppa:redislabs/redis',
    protected_mode  => false,
    syslog_enabled   => true,
    syslog_facility      => 'local0',
    timeout                => 0,
  }

What are you seeing

Installs the required version of redis-server but fails to start the service because of missing /var/run/redis

What behaviour did you expect instead

Directory /var/run/redis should be created as part of config.pp
