Describe The Bug

Hi -

As of this latest update (EDIT: 2022-06-02), I am getting the following error restarting the home bridge server, and it's stuck in the restart loop, see the logs below.. I don't know if this come from the container packaging or an underlying change in home bridge..

Moving to a different port worked around the issue, for what it's worth this config has been untouched for a long while..

The UI no longer runs as root so can't bind to ports below 1024. The solution would be to set the PUID and PGID to 0 to make the service run as root - but this won't work on the current tag; wait for the next release.

Understood - thanks for the info.

This is fixed in the latest release.
