Running xandikos using launchctl

[lamyergeier]

I am able to run xandikos as follows:

$ /Users/lamyergeier/.local/bin/xandikos -d /Users/lamyergeier/dav -l 192.168.178.33 -p 8080
INFO:root:Listening on 192.168.178.33:8080
WARNING:root:aiohttp-openmetrics not found; /metrics will not be available.
======== Running on http://192.168.178.33:8080 ========
(Press CTRL+C to quit)

Installed xandikos using pipx: pipx install xandikos

My launchctl plist file (/Users/lamyergeier/Library/LaunchAgents/xandikos.plist):

Any suggestions?

[jelmer]

That's odd; this suggests that it's having trouble resolving either the listen address or the port.

My guess is that it's adding leading spaces unintentionally. Can you try replacing these two lines:

		<string>-l 192.168.178.33</string>
		<string>-p 8080</string>

with:

		<string>-l</string><string>192.168.178.33</string>
		<string>-p</string><string>8080</string>
