Description Nick Singer 2018-02-21 12:36:02 UTC

Scenario:

I want to run some python application behind a reverse proxy. For that I install the following packages: nginx, uwsgi-python3, uwsgi


Problem:

If you try to start uwsgi by its service-file (systemctl start uwsgi) the startup fails:

"Process: 4794 ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/install -d -o wwwrun -g www -m 0755 /run/uwsgi (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)"

After trying to execute the install command on my own I get a message that the user wwwrun does not exist - indeed, this user never got installed. Also the group www does not exist.

The install command is hard-coded in /usr/lib/systemd/system/uwsgi.service as ExecStartPre.
Starting uwsgi by using the "ExecStart" command works just fine.


Expected behavior:

uwsgi does not depend on apache (I guess that's where wwwrun:www comes from) at all. The service should also be usable without these users available (nginx provides e.g. nginx:nginx).

This is fixed in server:http/uwsgi now and should find it's way into Tumbleweed soon. Thanks for the report.
