Subject: [PATCH qemu-server 1/3] d/tmpfiles: add configuration to auto-create /run/qemu-server directory
Date: Mon, 4 May 2026 15:03:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260504130751.226845-2-f.ebner@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260504130751.226845-1-f.ebner@proxmox.com>
Some code paths use /run/qemu-server, some code paths use
/var/run/qemu-server. Nothing currently ensures that the former
directory exists, but usually, /var/run is a symlink to /run, so it
does work in practice. The latter directory is created in the
Helpers.pm module. Usage of these paths should be aligned for the next
major release.
If /var/run is a symlink to /run like usual, then this change makes
the permissions tighter, because the directory /var/run/qemu-server
was created with 0755 permissions by the Helpers.pm module and is now
created via the tmpfiles configuration. The permissions chosen are
0750 with user root and group www-data. This is in line with what
/run/pve-cluster and /run/pve have.
