Valkey on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS — Support & Quick Start

At a glance

Application ports	6379 (Valkey)
Version	Valkey 8.1
Platform	Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Quick start

1. SSH into the VM with the username and key you chose at deploy.
2. Valkey runs as the `valkey` systemd service, bound to localhost on 6379 by default.
3. Connect with `valkey-cli`, set a strong `requirepass`, then bind to your private network as needed.

Looking for a generated credential?

Some images generate a one-time admin credential at first boot. List whichever credential file your VM created:

sudo ls /var/lib/*/admin-password /opt/*/admin-password /root/*credential* /root/.*-initial-password 2>/dev/null

Still stuck?

Email support@dcassociatesgroup.com (response within 1 business day) or send a message via the contact form. Include the offer name, VM size, region, and any log output — sudo journalctl -u <service> -n 100 usually tells the story.
