For now I advise people to download the latest binary artifact instead (v8.0.1 at this moment) from: https://valkey.io/download/releases/v8-0-1/ if you don't want to setup / use Percona.

Untar. And copy the directory structure + files into /usr/local yourself.

Binaries have TLS and systemd support enabled.

There are versions available from percona here: https://www.percona.com/blog/new-valkey-packages-by-percona/.

It's yet to be available through other official distribution channels, but it'll get there soon enough.

Percona apt repo is still not production ready; I tried to install it in Ubuntu 22, but I got an error to start service even though uninstalling the command was not working, and I could not uninstall it. I need to update the config file, stop services manually and then uninstall work.

Just grap the lastest build artifact like for Ubuntu 22.04 focal from here https://valkey.io/download/releases/v8-0-1/. This also works for Ubuntu 24.04

Direct link would be: https://download.valkey.io/releases/valkey-8.0.1-focal-x86_64.tar.gz

Valkey 7* not 8

Ah right. Thanks.

Ubuntu 25.04 will have Valkey 8.

@hubeni currently 7.2.10 is in the queue awaiting approval for inclusion in Noble - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/noble/+queue?queue_state=1&queue_text=valkey
Same for 8.0.4 in Plucky
It should be released soon :)

@Ivoytek is it common that those approvals take more than a month as it is still not approved?

@hubeni Sorry for the wait, these reviews usually happen a lot faster but they can vary. 7.2.10 is available in noble-updates now though

@Ivoytek
Coud you please provide also 7.2.11 to the Ubuntu Package Manager as it includes fixes for critical security vulnerabilities?
And is there a way to automate the provisioning of any new Valkey release to the Ubuntu Package Manager? :-)

@hubeni Here is the current bug report for valkey updates for reference https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/valkey/+bug/2127122
Unfortunately updates to Ubuntu stable releases cannot be automated as they require an extensive review process to avoid breaking users' systems. For more info see Ubuntu's SRU documentation. To speed things up though we should soon have an SRU exception for the package which will make backporting new versions much faster.
