Request for freehold and freehold-sync

I found interesting alternative to ownCloud and similar solutions - freehold. Link to website:
http://tshannon.bitbucket.org/freehold/
According to author it is very lightweight and scalable, does not require any webserver or database to run, and supports ssl.

Application is splitted to 3 projects:
freehold - freehold server
freehold-sync - application that synces local and remote files
freehold client - client API (not sure if it is necessary for normal use)

for freehold and freehold-sync there are precompiled binaries available - they starts on my system without any other dependencies. As far as I know, to compile from source Go is required (http://golang.org/doc/install).

I tried to create PKGBUILD for binary version of freehold myself, but I'm stuck at creating .service file for server - for security reasons I tried to run it as regular user, but it seems that application tries to write to subdirectory of location from where it was launched (e.g. when you run it from /usr/bin/, it tries to create files in /usr/bin/core). Another thing is application default config file is created in $HOME/.config/freehold/settings.json with 80 listen port (which obviously causes application to fail to bind port when launched as regular user), so it is necessary to modify it after first launch.
