Hi,
I’m setting up urbackup server on Ubuntu and using the ppa repo. Urbackup 2.1.19 is installed
I’d like to get urbackup to bind to a privileged low numbered port <1024. I’ve set this in the web admin but unfortunately it won’t bind to the port, the log states:
2017-10-19 11:27:58: ERROR: InternetService: Failed binding socket to port 99. Another instance of this application may already be active and bound to this port.
Checking netstat, 99 isn’t bound to any other process, and I can test this using nc -l 99 and it binds and receives data. I suspect this is because on ubuntu the urbackup process runs as the user urbackup and therefore doesn’t have root privileges. Is there a way of doing this action without giving urbackup root privileges as that seems a little insecure?
Thanks for your help
