Linux server: rslsync as service: web interface unreachable - works if started as user.

[AndreK]

I've installed .deb package and configured like: https://help.resilio.com/hc/en-us/articles/206178924-Installing-Sync-package-on-Linux

tried both --user and pure service.

The issue is that while this looks good:

 systemctl --user enable resilio-sync
Created symlink /home/andre/.config/systemd/user/default.target.wants/resilio-sync.service → /usr/lib/systemd/user/resilio-sync.service.
andre@ODIN:~$ systemctl --user start resilio-sync
andre@ODIN:~$ systemctl --user status resilio-sync

I can't see the webpage at port 8888

if I stop the service and just run rslsync  - the webUI is accessible.

please advise.

changing the config.json from "127.0.0.1:8888" to  "0.0.0.0:8888"  ...seems to have fixed it.

...this trick did not work for WantedBy=multi-user.target
