This node is STILL WORKING great! - Port 80 recommendation

[Catfriend1]

Hi,

you can detect if port 80 is LISTENING with this command: ss -pt state listening 'sport = :80'

You can allow node to listen on port tcp #80 by using this command - verified working on Debian 10 (buster): setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' $(eval readlink -fwhich node)

Would be nice if you could add this to the home page or a new wiki page in this repo.

Thanks.

Kind regards Catfriend1

P.S. I'm using Amazon Echo Plus Gen2 successfully with this!

do you mind explaining what does the "setcap" command does?

It's explained here pretty well: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/389903 and: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/setcap.8.html

Short form: it allows the node process running as a non-root user to bind a service port for networking.
