I installed the following unit file for an Nodejs Express Server:



 [Unit]

 User=nobody
 Group=nobody
 Environment=PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
 Environment=NODE_ENV=production
 WorkingDirectory=/home/pi/SpeedBot/server.js

 [Install]

When I run it and do: service speedbotserver status i get:

You can try with the below unit configuration:

Group=nobody




When the error message tells you that there's a problem setting the group that the service runs as, which is what that status code is doing, really your first thought should be "Have I configured a valid group for this service?"



Do not run services as nobody, by the way. This is a bad idea that the world learned not to do in the 1990s. nobody has a specific usage relating to NFS that means that it is the (apparent) owner of (possibly many) things in the filesystem. It is not suitable for running dæmon processes, whose user accounts should generally only own a limited amount of things in the filesystem that are directly related to their operation.



Run your service as a dedicated user account that is specific to the service.

            Postfix configuration issue with fips on centos 7; mailgun relay

            Image
            Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 0 down vote favorite I am trying to setup postfix to relay all mail generated on the local machine via SMTP to a mailgun relay. I have used the mailgun relay before with success on an ubuntu server, but I am migrating to a Centos 7 server which I will be running in FIPS mode. There error log is below, slightly sanitized. I have a small enough network that I choose to have each machine reach out to mailgun individually (this the loopback-only, 127.0.0.0/8 restrictions) and no firewall open port allowing smtp in to the machine. I assume the FIPS mode (and with it disabling of MD5) is causing problems, but I don't know how to overcome it or if it is even possible for tls_fprint to use some supported hash such as sha256 or sha512. However, the relay=none is slightly concerning since I have relayhost set, but perhaps that is because the smtp process is failing? Any help would be appreciated! postconf -n: alias_database = hash:/etc/alia
