Can’t start SWS

[Geobert]

with this toml:

[general]
host = "::"
port = 443
root = "/home/geob/www/blog/public"
page404 = "/home/geob/www/blog/public/404.html"
http2 = true
http2-tls-cert = "/etc/letsencrypt/live/new_domain.com/cert.pem"
http2-tls-key = "/etc/letsencrypt/live/new_domain.com/privkey.pem"
https-redirect = true

[advanced]

[[advanced.redirects]]
host = "https://old_domain.com"
source = "/{*}"
destination = "https://new_domain.com/$1"
kind = 301

when starting I get this error:

I don’t understand why it tries to bind to port 80 as the toml specified port 443

[Geobert]

and in my systemd unit file:
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/static-web-server -w /home/geob/sws.toml

[Geobert]

I use a toml file in order to have advanced section for redirecting from old domain

If you want to sandbox SWS using systemd then you have to use a file descriptor instead of binding to a tcp port. Follow https://static-web-server.net/features/file-descriptor-socket-passing/ for more details.

And to change the server port used by the service, edit the value of ListenStream in the static-web-server.socket file example.

Thanks for your answer!
I’m now facing a strange issue: path /home/geob/www/blog/public was not found or inaccessible
But the path does exist, and everythings under www is in group www-data (as I have SupplementaryGroups=www-data)
I tried with User=root or User=geob with no luck

What am I missing this time?

EDIT: can’t access home, moved to /var/ and it works now, thank you again!

WHY is this NOT in the documentation???
"You are NOT free to use any folder you like, even if it's owned by the user and group running SWS, you MUST place your folder in /var"
This info should be added to the documentation!
