For people not using redis: there is now an "automated patching mechanism" that will instead use the next best fork of redis that is available on your system as the Requires= dependency in *.service. This way, anyone can use their favorite fork of it. Keep in mind that upstream does not explicitly say that forks of redis work as well, and this further makes the built paperless-ngx-venv package non-portable. Happy experimenting :)

@atomicfs Thanks for the info, yes I've already done so for now. A friend of mine has the same issue so I doubt it's something about the peculiarities of my setup.Let me know if I can help you in triage in any way.

@AlexBocken pacman cannot pin versions, it is pacman design decision. So that is not going to work.

However you can prevent package from being upgraded by ignoring it with IgnorePkg=python-pillow in /etc/pacman.conf.

From upstream repository it seems like on master branch they are already using pillow 10.3.0 which was merged 3 weeks ago. Paperless-ngx 2.7.2 was releases 2 weeks ago. So I guess it should work. I will try to reproduce the issue.

Consumer does not work with latest python-pillow 10.3.0. 10.2.0 works fine. Please either investigate for patch or pin version for now to <=10.2.0.

Here's my journalctl -xeu paperless-task-queue.service when it fails consumption:

@amo did I just mess it up by trying to push a commit to master branch?

UPDATE: never-mind I guess, I think AUR had some hiccup and it took unusually long to push.

@amo yeah, sure. I should really fix my RSS aggregator to get notifications about new releases to make this as simple as possible :)

Awesome, @atomicfs ! Would you also be willing to take over my packaged python dependencies for paperless? You can find them by clicking on my user account. Maintaining them is pretty straight-forward. The packages need to be updated every once in a while but it's mostly just adapting the version number and checksum in the PKGBUILD.

Hey @AlphaJack, if no one has messaged you yet yet, I would like to volunteer to be a co-maintainer. The same goes for you @amo

Hey everyone, I've had a lot of fun packaging and (co)maintaining paperless and a few of its dependencies, but I'd like to step down as co-maintainer of this package and as maintainer of the python dependencies I submitted. Since I am moving my paperless to a hosted instance at paperless-home.com, I'd like to hand over my AUR packages and the co-maintainership to anyone who is interested.

For taking over the co-maintenance of paperless-ngx, please reach out to AlphaJack. For the python dependencies, please see my AUR profile to find the AUR packages in question and reach out to me (I still need to figure out the easiest way to hand over a package to a new owner, but I think there is something on the wiki about that).

A word of encouragement: Maintaining a package is not hard. Really not. Initially submitting one takes more effort and testing, but maintaining is easy. It boils down to 1. updating the version number and checksum in the PKGBUILD file, 2. test making and installing the package (1 command), 3. generating a .SRCINFO file (1 command) and 4. git-pushing the two files.

Dependency uvicorn was upgraded to 0.26.0 in January which causes subpath installations (https://mydomain.com/paperless) to break. This leads to infinite redirects when trying to access the domain, see https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx/issues/5494

If anyone else ran into this issue, a simple pacman downgrade fixed it for me:

sudo pacman -U file:///var/cache/pacman/pkg/uvicorn-0.25.0-1-any.pkg.tar.zst
