Questions about my ngircd logfile after using docker-compose.yml

I have a few questions about my NGIRCD logfile:

ServerUID must not be root(0), using “nobody” instead.

Must this really be root?

Error writing PID file (/var/run/ngircd/ngircd.pid): Permission denied

This refers to the image? Must I do something? If so, what?

Can’t bind socket to address 192.168.1.3:6667 - Address not available!

Why does it not bind on my network ip but the internal ip 127.0.0.1 instead?

It looks like you are incorrectly configuring the ngircd.conf file.

Don’t change any user stuff. Only change the server addresses and such, things that are specific to you. Everything else is already preconfigured.

100% spot on, thanx!
