Running as root is generally to be avoided.

You could use software defined networking to do it (depending on your
stack) and have some failover and whatnot there, as a bonus.

Or use PF/iptables or something to forward from 80 to one above 1024.

Search for "privileged port binding" + whatever system you're trying to
do it on to find more information.

Thanks for sharing that video Tomaž, good stuff!
