Vere should ask user to setcap in `.run next`

Open belisarius222 opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

If a user on Linux runs /path/to/pier/.run next and had previously run the setcap 'cap_net_bind_service=+ep' /path/to/vere command to allow the Urbit binary to bind port 80, then Vere should print a loud warning to remind the user to set it again on the new binary.

It's also possible to configure linux to allow any binary to bind lower ports. It'd be good to mention this option in our docs:

sysctl net.ipv4.ip_unprivileged_port_start=80

or

echo 80 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_unprivileged_port_start
