WriteFreely runs as root

[gytisrepecka]

Based on system service configuration file provided in production documentation, writefreely binary will run under root system user. To fix this, make sure to add following parameters in Service section:
User=writefreely
Group=writefreely
After systemctl daemon is reloaded, you will see writefreely binary now runs under corresponding user:
ps aux | grep writefreely

For this, we'll also need to update the documentation to include the creation of the writefreely user, right? Would you mind creating an issue for this in the documentation repo?

[gytisrepecka]

Yes, I can document that.

Going to close this out since it isn't a bug. Let's continue discussing this on the documentation repo.

Its 2023 and the installation guide still leads users to an instance running fully as root.
I couldn't find any continuation of this discussion on the documentation repo.
Could anyone please give me a pointer or did the discussion end here?

We still need to update the documentation, yes. Please open an issue in that repo so we can discuss it and update the docs.
