However, mailman3-web (or mailman-web) is not working, I think because of a permissions issue. The installation instructions specify that mailman3-web (or mailman-web) run as user=mailman and group=mailman. However, the debian installation specifies the data files as user=www-data and group=www-data which is what apache runs as. For instance, I have my static files stored in the /var/lib/mailman3/web/static directory and the previous Debian mailman3 version set all the ownerships and groups to www-data for /var/lib/mailman3/web, /var/lib/mailman3/web/static along with all of the directories and files in the static subdirectory. So, when I run "mailman-web collectstatic" it bombs on the following permissions error:
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/mailman3/web/static/hyperkitty/js/hyperkitty-common.js'
So, my question is as follows. Should I continue to run mailman3-web as user mailman and change the ownership of the /var/lib/mailman3/web directory to mailman or should I leave the permissions of the /var/lib/mailman3/web directory alone and have mailman3-web run as user and group www-data?
As David later said, owner and group of all Mailman's files and
directories should be mailman and what ever the wsgi interface is
(uwsgi, gunicorn, mod_wsgi) should run the wsgi process as user:group
mailman:mailman
