Right now, I have a problem in my system: each time someone start the server, it will recreate the file config.json with the following credentials:

-rw------- 1 <user> <group>  804 Sep 29 19:52 config.json

So when someone else tries to restart the server it will fail because it cannot read the config.json file.

Is it possible to change the behavior to give access to the whole group?

Checkout https://webinstall.dev/serviceman

That's the easiest way to use systemd so that the service is owned by a specific user/group rather than changing hands with each user.

For example:

pushd ./my-node-app/

sudo env PATH="$PATH" \
    serviceman add --system --cap-net-bind \
    npx nodemon ./server.js

pushd ./my-node-app/

sudo env PATH="$PATH" \
    serviceman add --system --cap-net-bind \
    npm start

For example: ```bash pushd ./my-node-app/ sudo env PATH="$PATH" \ serviceman add --system --cap-net-bind \ npx nodemon ./server.js ``` ```bash pushd ./my-node-app/ sudo env PATH="$PATH" \ serviceman add --system --cap-net-bind \ npm start ```

Sorry man. Actually I think that I was responsible for the config.json being written with wrong permissions. I thought it was part of greenlock process.
