Description

During initial setup, i set the keyvalue type to redis, but missed adding enabled to redis, even though the configuration was there. That ended up with this panic

Setting .redis.enabled: true addressed the issue. While not a big problem, this makes it a bit more complicated for users to know what part was wrong
