SWS do not use settings from static-web-server.socket

[bubnenkoff]

Is seems that SWS do not use settings from https://github.com/static-web-server/static-web-server/blob/master/systemd/static-web-server.socket

I can get my server works with:

/usr/local/bin/static-web-server --host=0.0.0.0 --config-file /var/www/html --root /var/www/html

But if running with systemd I can't open site.
Possible I should set --host=0.0.0.0 somewhere in systemd configs, but I do not see where

adding: and restarting service

SERVER_HOST=0.0.0.0

to etc_default_static-web-server did not get any effect

Hm... I still can't understand if service is staring...
I redone all on fresh install. Latest steps:

[root@320099 system]# systemctl enable static-web-server.socket
Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/static-web-server.socket → /etc/systemd/system/static-web-server.socket.
[root@320099 system]# systemctl start  static-web-server.socket
[root@320099 system]# mkdir /var/www/
[root@320099 system]# mkdir /var/www/html
[root@320099 system]# systemctl start static-web-server.service
[root@320099 system]# systemctl status static-web-server.service

[root@320099 system]#

it seems that service is not working... I can't find reason of error: (code=exited, status=216/GROUP)

This is because www-data user used in SupplementaryGroups probably does not exist in your system (Arch Linux). So If you use an existing user then it should work.
For example, you could create a nologin user with specific privileges for the /var/www/html dir.

I got it work. Tomorrow I will describe how

BTW I improved the docs by providing a service example that should help others.

[bubnenkoff]

I checked your example. I have nothing to add. Thanks!
