As it is too hard to maintain compatibilities of the dependencies, I am switching to funkwhale-venv that installs dependencies with pinned version in a virtualenv using pip: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/funkwhale-venv

Follow the instructions on the wiki [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Funkwhale] or on the official documentation to finish the installation and configure your instance.

It appears that Django 4 breaks Funkwhale due to the removal of ugettext; it seems like it's either the point to use separate Django 3 packages, or vendor in the dependencies for this package.

Still failing checksums on nginx template:

The current PKGBUILD modifies nginx.template in-place after it's downloaded, which causes the integrity check to fail if the build is attempted more than one time. It would make the most sense to write the changes to a different file so this doesn't occur, like this:

I updated to 1.1.4, but it needs two tricks: install a patched package python-asgiref_patch (in AUR) and manually update python-celery (and python-kombu) to version 5.2 (see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/70972?project=5&string=python-celery).

The dependency python-feedparser-dev doesn't exist; this should be python-feedparser.

Little PKGBUILD hint - you should be able to replace

  install -Dm644 funkwhale.service "$pkgdir/usr/lib/systemd/system/funkwhale.service"
  install -Dm644 funkwhale-beat.service "$pkgdir/usr/lib/systemd/system/funkwhale-beat.service"
  install -Dm644 funkwhale-worker.service "$pkgdir/usr/lib/systemd/system/funkwhale-worker.service"
  install -Dm644 funkwhale-server.service "$pkgdir/usr/lib/systemd/system/funkwhale-server.service"

with

  install -Dm644 *.service "$pkgdir/usr/lib/systemd/system/"

python-celery>=5.2 (compatible with python-click>=8) is needed for the funkwhale 1.1.x. Waiting for this and another bug correction in python-asgiref (https://github.com/django/asgiref/issues/278) to update.

mod_xsendfile is needed only if you are using Apache, it's not needed if you are using Nginx. I made it an optional dependency.

Any chance to get this working on ALARM Arch Linux ARM: mod_xsendfile dependency is missing

I found this page related to this error: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=237221 Any other error when building the package? The env file should be installed correctly.

During installation I'm getting an error:

(3/4) Creating temporary files... error: command failed to execute correctly (4/4) Arming ConditionNeedsUpdate...

I also don't have the env file (maybe a consequence of the above error?)

python-pyld was flagged out-of-date, it should be updated to the correct version soon. Funkwhale is a young project that is using cutting-edge libraries (and a lot of them!), it is difficult to keep pace, even on Arch that is rolling-release. Upstream advises to use Docker installation to avoid dependency problems. Using this package you will have to manually update dependencies sometimes, but with a good AUR helper it is not so complicated, for python dependencies you usually only have to change the pkgver in the PKGBUILD.

When trying aur sync funkwhale, this failed with a

invalid node: python-pyld 0.7.1 (required: >=1.0.4)

I ended up patching the pyld build [https://github.com/jcaesar/python-pyld-archlinux] and installing it with repo-add $(aur repo).tar python-pyld-1.0.5-0-any.pkg.tar.xz, but that can hardly be the normal way of doing it?

This also depends on python-django-rest-framework which hasn't been updated to the version you require. :(

In v0.18, the default ip address changed to 127.0.0.1, the env file is now stored in /srv/funkwhale/config/env and file permissions changed. Follow the new instructions on the wiki.

The package is outdated. Also on first installation, the user "funkwhale" doesn't exist, so the build failed.

Follow the instructions on the wiki [https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Funkwhale] or on the official documentation to finish the installation and configure your instance.
