stirling-pdf: fails to launch on x86_64-linux #440379
Description
Nixpkgs version
- Unstable (25.11)
Describe the bug
It appears that stirling-pdf fails to run. Visiting the https://localhost:8080/ page with (firefox-beta) browser, I get this:
Unable to connect
Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at localhost:8080.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.
Steps to reproduce
Visit http://localhost:8080/ with the browser
Expected behaviour
Visiting http://localhost:8080/ should open the stirling-pdf site

For clarification, I use stirling on my machine by adding this line to my config:
services.stirling-pdf.enable = true;Also using ss I didn't find any other service using the 8080 port.
