I am using Ubuntu to develop my website. Recently, I started to use redis.
When I started my computer, redis-server will start by its own.
What method can I stop my redis-server starting by itself?

It seems that the redis-server package uses rc.d scripts, and the preferred way to deal with them in Ubuntu is using update-rc.d:
sudo update-rc.d redis-server disable
Should do the trick. You can also disable it in a certain runlevel only:
sudo update-rc.d redis-server disable 2

did not work for me, getting
update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/redis-server: file does not exist warning. Using Ubuntu 14.04 & Redis 3.0.7 which is the latest version available.

@talha06 did you install the redis-server deb package using apt, or did you build it from sources or another installation method?

I built it from the sources since it is the way Redis guides: redis.io/download

That explains it, this advice is for the Ubuntu package of redis. I don't know how vanilla redis handles init scripts, but this part of the README says it will be called "redis_<portnumber>", so
sudo update-rc.d redis_6379 disable should work if it's on the default port.

@LinusGustavLarssonThiel that indeed works! Thanks, maybe it would make sense to edit the original answer?

For those looking for a more up-to-date solution. If your system is using systemd (Ubuntu 15.04 and up) the way to not launch it at start-up is:
sudo systemctl disable redis-server
systemctl admits "basically" these actions (check the following links for the complete list)
disable. Don't launch at boot.enable. Launch at boot.start. Launch it now.stop. Stop it now.status. To check if is running
As written in this answer:
For more details, see enabling-and-disabling-services and for the very long answer see this post
For more details, see this post on Digital Ocean and the man page for systemctl.
