OpenVSX server fails to start with embedded Redis on s390x and ppc64le architectures #1356
Description
When starting the OpenVSX server on s390x and ppc64le systems, the embedded Redis process fails to launch. This prevents the server from starting successfully on these architectures.
Steps to reproduce:
- Run OpenVSX server on a Linux system with s390x or ppc64le architecture.
- Attempt to start the server (which triggers embedded Redis startup).
- Observe that Redis fails to execute with an error.
Startup fails with:
Error starting ApplicationContext. To display the condition evaluation report re-run your application with 'debug' enabled.

probably it's because embedded-redis doesn't support these arches, I found this issue: kstyrc/embedded-redis#71
