@haxit from the install guide.
'On Linux, ports below 1024 are reserved for the “root” user. This is a security feature. In our case
MeshCentral will need to listen to ports 80 and 443. To allow this, we need to allow node to listen
to ports below 1024 like this:
whereis node
node: /home/ec2-
user/.nvm/versions/node/v8.11.3/bin/node
sudo setcap cap_net_bind_service=+ep /home/ec2-user/.nvm/versions/node/v8.11.3/bin/nodeWe first locate the node binary, using “whereis node”, we then use the “setcap” command to add
permissions to node. Note that we take the path given by whereis and place it in the setcap
command. The “setcap” command will set permissions allowing node to use ports 1024 and below.
This permission may be lost when updating the Linux kernel, so this command may need to be
applied again in some case.' -

He has two issues, the first is port permissions, the second is how can he upgrade.

We run MC as root. It's the only function on the VM so the idea that running as root as so terrible is really moot. Is it ideal? No. But is it a big deal, absolutely not. That's FUD. If the app is compromised the host is already 100% in danger. Running as root or something else doesn't change anything that matters when it is run correctly overall in a single isolated environment. But it makes updates and stuff SO much easier.
