Failing to start Docker, connection to Valkey/Redis timed out

I just downloaded the latest release's
docker-compose.yml
docker-compose.yml
file
and tried to start Immich, but it just stays there trying to start while timing out on Redis:

immich_server            | Error: connect ETIMEDOUT

This seems to be not new, but nowhere could I find any info, other than replacing Redis with Valkey, which is already being used in the latest release.

Am I doing something stupidly, horribly wrong, or is the release simply b0rked?

I am on Debian stable with
docker-ce
docker-ce
and the compose plugin from Docker directly (5:28.1.1-1~debian.12~bookworm).
compose.yml
compose.yml
and
.env
.env
file are exactly as available on Github.

Complete logs are attached.
