🔮 Additional context
I have tried reinstall the LXC and even with a new VM, but to no avail. Same error. I got a notification 24h ago that worked, but it's been a while since I logged in on the server.

Just ran into this, I think the fallback to :80 happens here:

630f2957de/server/config.go (L171)
630f2957de/server/config.go (L13)

If you want to use listen-unix, also set listen-http = "", so that it stops trying to bind to port 80.
If you just want a different port, try listen-http = "127.0.0.1:1234".
