latest openwisp2 install Failing - issue with redis - AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'expand'

[jackamd]

HI:

I am new to openwisp2,

a month back I was able to install openwisp2, by following the instruction at "https://github.com/openwisp/ansible-openwisp2" on a ubuntu 16.04 intel HW/PC.

this week when I tried again installing fresh, I am geting an error - when it tries to "TASK [openwisp.openwisp2 : set redis to listen on ipv4]"

I tried the same procedure in 3 different HW (two different make laptops and one embedded box running ubuntu 16.04 LTS) and I am geting same problem in all 3.

I have pasted the complete dump below. Do let me know if anyone is facing this issue and How to come out of it.

Any help.. appreciated,

thanks

Jack
