--- labels: products: - enterprise - oss title: Serving Grafana on a port < 1024 --- If you are using `systemd` and want to start Grafana on a port that is lower than 1024, you must add a `systemd` unit override. 1. Run the following command to create an override file in your configured editor. ```bash # Alternatively, create a file in /etc/systemd/system/grafana-server.service.d/override.conf sudo systemctl edit grafana-server.service ``` 1. Add the following additional settings to grant the `CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE` capability. To learn more about capabilities, refer to [capabilities(7) — Linux manual page](https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/capabilities.7.html). ```ini [Service] # Give the CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE capability CapabilityBoundingSet=CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE # A private user cannot have process capabilities on the host's user # namespace and thus CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE has no effect. PrivateUsers=false ```
