I've ran into a problem with my Redis 4.09 installation on Ubuntu 18.04.
Each time I reboot the machine the /var/log/redis/redis-server.log
ends up being owned by www-data:www-data
:
# namei -l /var/log/redis/redis-server.log
f: /var/log/redis/redis-server.log
drwxr-xr-x root root /
drwxr-xr-x root root var
drwxrwxr-x root syslog log
drwxr-x--- redis redis redis
-rw-r----- www-data www-data redis-server.log
# stat /var/log/redis/redis-server.log

This results in the redis.service refusing to start. The same thing happens when I invoke redis-server directly:
# sudo -u redis redis-server /etc/redis/redis.conf
*** FATAL CONFIG FILE ERROR ***
