This has me baffled. Both the valkey(redis) and nextcloud wiki
changes make logical sense and seem like that should result in a
painless upgrade. I was not so lucky.

Anybody have any ideas how I can get nextcloud back up and running
with valkey? Worst case I'll try disableing redis/valkey altogether in
the nextcloud config and run without caching -- not optimal. It was
running perfectly with redis before the upgrade, so I'm stuck.
