Every casual user is using a distro packaged version. That's why distros exist.
If you're doing your own packaging then presumably you know how to invoke the server by creating a service file for systemd.
- foldr 4y agoI don't think this is true in general. For example, in one instance I wanted to use caddy, which wasn't packaged for CentOS at the time. I don't think I had trouble getting it to run as a non-root user, but getting it to work with SELinux was a big PITA. The Linux community seems to have a pervasive "if you're doing X then you should be able to Y" kind of attitude. But sometimes you just need to do X, and you know what you know.
- throwaway09223 4y agoThat's totally unrelated to the topic of how services are invoked. SELinux is indeed a PITA. I usually just turn it off. Your complaint about the community says more about you than about the community. It's certainly not true as a rule.
