The bug

make dev fails on a fresh OS install and fresh clone of the latest release.

Doing a chmod a+w ./web then running again fixes that problem, but runs into another:

This directory doesn't get created until somewhat into the build process, so you could keep doing chmods, but ultimately the issue is caused by using the node user in https://github.com/immich-app/immich/blob/main/web/Dockerfile
Removing those bits and running the container as root works. I'm guessing many people are logged in with the default uid of 1000, which is what the node user in the container uses. Thus permissions just work. But if you're not using that uid, it won't work.
