The redis module currently fails to start up, most likely due to running a chown as non-root in preStart. While at it, I hardcoded it to use systemd's StateDirectory and DynamicUser to manage directory permissions, removed the unused appendOnlyFilename option, and the pidFile option. We properly tell redis now it's daemonized, and it'll use notify support to signal readiness.
To build the manual, you need Nix installed on your system (no need
for NixOS). To install Nix, follow the instructions at
https://nixos.org/nix/download.html
When you have Nix on your system, in the root directory of the project
(i.e., `nixpkgs`), run:
nix-build nixos/release.nix -A manual.x86_64-linux
When this command successfully finishes, it will tell you where the
manual got generated.
