You _can_ do
ExecStart=sudo -u $USER_MINIDLNA -g GROUP_MINIDLNA /usr/sbin/minidlnad -S
but that's not the optimal solution here.
It's better IMHO to use a fixed user in your packaging -- why should that
user be configurable in the first place? If the sysadmin _really_ needs to
use a different user+group, they can add an overriding unit file to
/etc/systemd/system/ (files get merged, so no need to copy the whole thing).
Ack.
In the file they just need to set User and Group then?
Both of these can be replaced with
RuntimeDirectory=minidlda
which will create /run/minidlna, chown it to the user given in User= and
even remove it again once the service is stopped.
There's RuntimeDirectoryMode= if you need different permissions.
All of this is documented in systemd.exec(5) if you want more information.
Thanks. I read them for trying to fix the User= dynamic problem but did
not found this.
