Oof, the reviewer used an AUR helper that hid the post-install instructions among a deluge of messages! Ze had a point that I should have those instructions in the reviewer-only README too, I’ll admit. I’ve spent the last thirty minutes doing that.

No, that is not what I did within the logged time. A very helpful user commented on the AUR page that I had an issue stemming from the redis→valkey migration last year. I was adding us to the redis user group while depending on valkey!
Remembering my sympathy for the redis founder’s account of the events, I decided to fix this by supporting both, by adding to both the redis and valkey groups and depending on “redis”, which valkey also provides.
(What does that mean? Arch’s pacman has a nifty feature—provides—so that valkey can label itself as providing all the features of the redis package, which it does. Well, almost, minus the user-group name change, anyways.)

The reviewer also exposed a problem in the immich-admin script when ze mistakely tried to launch immich with it. Firstly, I neglected to mention that the script probably shouldn’t be used, as the systemd service wraps around it—a service I didn’t mention either. 🥀. Secondly, it now fails when not called from its working directory. I’ve fixed this by replacing the symlink with a short script that first cd-s to the correct directory, and of course adding that to the README.
Finally, I’ve updated the nginx config to the proper format (with an events {} section) and dropped migration instructions for too-old versions, as promised in the document containing migration instructions. Past 9 months mean you get sent off from the womb into the wild before you are replaced with our best instructions yet we are so proud to present you with at this year’s worldwide instruction conferen
A yay for interchangeable parts. That’s right, use yay or paru instead. Interchange those blasted bloasted TUIs. Start a revolution. /hj
