That is very bad. You shouldn't run that as root! www-data or http or 
whatever your web user is, is the right user for that. I wonder why you 
use 0.0.0.0:8001
8001 is the default port of Mailman core, you probably don't want to use 
that. You need to have core on your system for postorius to actually do 
anything...

Do you want to setup for development? If yes, the guide should be more 
than enough to tell you what needs to be done. If you follow the link to 
https://wiki.list.org/DEV/HowToContributeGit you should be able to do that.

This somewhat contradicts the above url..

since you managed to install postorius and get it running, you either 
installed it systemwide which would work with it commented out, or you 
actually created a virtualenv in which case you should know where the 
location of that is. (virtualenv is preferred, you only use the system 
packages, if they are installes using your package manager and the 
application is too. Otherwise you will run into incompatibilties sooner 
or later.
> #socket  = /run/uwsgi/mailman.sock
This is the socket that is created for the webserver to connect to. I'm 
actually not sure what happens if you don't include that... I doubt 
uwsgi would actually start.

It's not entirely clear what you actually want to do, so it's hard to 
help... If you want it for production I suggest you use the docker 
images provided by maxking or wait a couple of weeks until the packages 
get into debian backports, where you can just run one command and then 
get a running system.
For dev, the mentioned link should be more than enough to get you up and 
running. If you have issues from following a guide, please mention that 
so they can be improved...
