Port Configuration Issue

[kylhuk]

I am trying to install cozy-stack inside a docker container. My goal is to switch from the default port 8080 to something different, like 8881.

There is a setting called port: 8080 which should be responsible for setting the port of the http server. However, when changing this, nothing happens.

I use cozy-stack serve to start the http server as the user cozy. I also tested and manually pointed to the configuration file, which I copied to $HOME/.cozy.yaml. Inside the config file, the first lines are:

# cozy.yaml for production Docker

host: 0.0.0.0
port: 8881

What else could I potentially have missed?

I am further digging down.

So in the command serve.go, you are loading a config file. You get this config file by invoking function config.FindConfigFile(adminSecretFile)

cozy-stack/cmd/serve.go

Line 82 in d3114c8

if _, err := config.FindConfigFile(adminSecretFile); err != nil {

Checking the function, I can see that it iterates through the following paths to find a config file:

var Paths = []string{
	".",
	".cozy",
	"$HOME/.cozy",
	"$HOME/.config/cozy",
	"$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/cozy",
	"/etc/cozy",
}

However, when invoking the command cozy-stack serve --help, it says the default place for the config is: configuration file (default "$HOME/.cozy.yaml"), which is defined here:

cozy-stack/cmd/root.go

Line 116 in d3114c8

flags.StringVarP(&cfgFile, "config", "c", "", "configuration file (default \"$HOME/.cozy.yaml\")")

Additionally, the default filename is specified here:
https://github.com/cozy/cozy-stack/blob/d3114c8bb924afe72f393fa635b799b060095d8f/pkg/config/config/config.go#L45C1-L45C24

So this means, that $HOME/.cozy.yaml is not a valid config name and location.

That's what I have found out until now. I will dig deeper :)

So I now moved it to $HOME/.cozy/cozy.yaml. The port still does not change. However, the change of the log level was respected. So I believe there is some bug somewhere, where the configured port value gets replaced by the default value.
