What's I'm trying to do ?
Serve something on port 80 trough nodejs on WSL.
Commands run
npx serve -p 80sudo npx serve -p 80
Error displayed
Error: listen EACCES: permission denied 0.0.0.0:80
Note: I'm sure port 80 is not busy !
For example, Docker container run well on port 80:
docker run -d -p 80:80 docker/getting-started
Other example
Here is some command that ✅ work and some that ❌doesn't work
- ✅ docker run -d -p 80:80 docker/getting-started
- ❌npx serve
- ❌sudo npx serve
- ✅ npx serve -p 4000
- ❌npm run start (An express server)
- ❌sudo npm run start (An express server)
- ❌php -S localhost:80
- ✅sudo php -S localhost:80
So it's seems that node don't take privilège of sudo. What's i'm missing, is there maybe something wrong on my node installation ?
EDIT:
I find a solution here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/414258/2838586.
But still doesn't know why it's doesn't work with sudo without this fix.
