I'm getting the same issue.

 ➜ redis-server redis.conf 
19847:C 19 Dec 17:48:30.320 # Can't chdir to '/home/ec2-user/watchmen': No such file or directory

@iloire I see that this path is hard coded in redis.conf file. Shouldn't this file be in gitignore? As these values would likely be different for each deployments.

I think there should be a sample conf file instead something like redis.example.conf or redis.dist.conf so that users can create their own redis.conf file from it depending on their environment.

You can try redis-server redis.dev.conf for a local redis installation
