Should be ok now. But actually a better way would be to get the mox.service from the sources directly and adapt it. But no time for that right now.

Could you add CAP_KILL to CapabilityBoundingSet= in mox.service? I just diff'ed it with the service file generated by "mox quickstart", and this was different.

@void09 it should be ok for other architectures now.

This builds fine on arm64, and considering archlinux is also available for x86 32bit and arm, even powerpc, would be nice to add more architectures to this package. Example PKGBUILD: https://pastebin.com/raw/aUyxNuFj

The configuration file is difficult because it is generated by the mox quickstart command and seems to be hardcoded to use ./config and ./data.

I think including post-install instructions about running mox quickstart (and moving the generated files) would be a good first step. Maybe you could ask the maintainer about including an automated way to set it up with predetermined directories (maybe through environment variables?).

Alternatively, you could generate a default mox.conf using example.org and ship that.

@Fell, thank you for the feedback, I just push a change to take into account your remarks about the mox.service.

Regarding the configuration file, I don't really know which file I should use as a default template. Any hint about that one ?

Let me know how it goes.

Thank you, I have been waiting for this. Seems to work well!

On my local install I added a systemd service file which is basically https://github.com/mjl-/mox/blob/main/mox.service with the following changes:

ExecStart=mox -config /etc/mox/mox.conf serve
ExecStop=mox -config /etc/mox/mox.conf stop
ReadWritePaths=/etc/mox /var/mox

The DataDir in mox.conf should be set to /var/mox

If you include a mox.conf and a mox.service then this package should be pretty much complete.

Hello folks, this is a WIP mox package, there is much left about initial config.
