Summary
In --single-user mode, JSS currently mounts the pod at /me/ rather than at the server root /. Since single-user mode means exactly one pod, the /me/ path prefix has no namespace-disambiguation purpose and adds friction for clients that expect a pod root to coincide with the server origin.
Current Behavior
$ jss start --single-user
# Pod resources accessible at:
# http://localhost:4000/me/
# http://localhost:4000/me/profile/card
# http://localhost:4000/me/.acl
Expected Behavior
$ jss start --single-user
# Pod resources accessible at the server origin:
# http://localhost:4000/
# http://localhost:4000/profile/card
# http://localhost:4000/.acl
The single-user pod's storage root coincides with the server origin — which is the natural mapping when there is, by definition, exactly one user.
Rationale
- No namespace conflict: single-user means one pod;
/me/ adds nothing
- Cleaner WebID URIs:
https://my.example.org/profile/card#me rather than https://my.example.org/me/profile/card#me
- Standard Solid pod-at-origin pattern: matches what most existing Solid clients and tutorials assume
- Clean offline-export and static-site behavior: a saved page's URI matches the server origin
Acceptance
--single-user (without other path-related overrides) serves the pod at /
- WebID at
/profile/card#me
- Root ACL at
/.acl
- Container listing of
/ returns the LDP container for the pod root
- Multi-user mode unchanged
