I'm setting up a VPS with Ruby/Rails and wanted to install Redis but there's no article on DO about how to do so. Does anyone have detailed instructions (sufficient for a beginner) about how to do so? Thanks in advance

We actually do have an article on installing Redis on Ubuntu: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-and-use-redis
How To Install and Use Redis
by Etel Sverdlov
This tutorial covers the Redis Installation, some simple Redis operations, and the 5 Redis data types. Redis, developed in 2009, is a flexible, open-source, key value data store that allows users to store vast amounts of data without the limits of a relational database.

That's great. However, I don't see it listed on this page https://www.digitalocean.com/community . Are there other articles I'm not aware of : )
