I have a server with Ubuntu 22.04 and comes with Redis 6.0.

The Redis server is running in production.

**Is it possible to upgrade Redis from v6 to v7 in-place on Ubuntu
22.04?** Or I need to create a new server?

I'm not sure what your conf is, but on a one node redis server, direct
upgrade is possible.

Yes it's only one node, it's not a cluster.

Do you have any reference / docs about that?

Backup  /var/lib/redis before upgrading and add new repo as usual.
Then upgrade.

If you're hesitant then do it in a staging environment.

- container stop redis -t 120
- cp -R --reflink /volumes/redis /backup/redis
- container pull redis:7
