[jinks]

Steps to reproduce

1. Where are you starting? What can you see?

I'm running element-web from a unprivileged podman container. as of 2025-01-15 this stopped working

Outcome

with the following error messages:

Jan 16 08:59:10 themis systemd-element[2687339]: 2025/01/16 08:59:10 [warn] 1#1: the "user" directive makes sense only if the master process runs with super-user privileges, ignored in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:2

Based on nginx-unprivileged documentation I set the env var NGINX_PORT to a high port but this did not solve the issue.

You're following the wrong docs:

element-web/docs/install.md

Lines 69 to 75 in 13913ba

	The behaviour of the docker image can be customised via the following
	environment variables:
	- `ELEMENT_WEB_PORT`
	The port to listen on (within the docker container) for HTTP
	traffic. Defaults to `80`.
