Re: [DNG] Mosquitto cannot be started, because no /var/mosquitto directory (Devuan stable)
Hi, Thank you so much for your exhaustive answer! The links helped me to solve my next issue as well, that's great! I thought Debian would focus on systemd, I better have looked for myself first. In case someone else faces a similar issue and reads this, I like to add a detail. The patch provided by Sergio attached to #993048 is simple and very elegant, but did not work for me, because mosquitto.conf contains a pid_file option, too. By this, the directory still is needed. Additionally, I had to change this option to use a different filename, otherwise mosquitto tried to overwrite the file created by start-stop-deamon (user=root) and got EPERM (because user=mosquitto). Maybe the pid_file option could be removed from the configuration, or -u mosquitto added to start-stop-deamon, but I did not test this.

Re: [DNG] Mosquitto cannot be started, because no /var/mosquitto directory (Devuan stable)
Hello Steffen, The systemd service file does create the necessary directories (see: https://github.com/eclipse/mosquitto/blob/master/service/systemd/mosquitto.service.simple). /run/mosquitto not being created is most likely an issue with debian itself. Creating the folder from the init file, as per your workaround, is valid. To resolve the installation issue would require to file a bug against mosquitto on debian BTS. Apparently somebody did just that, and provided a patch to boot: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=993048 See also: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=983429 Cheers, Ludovic On Mon, 13 Dec 2021, Steffen Dettmer via Dng wrote: Hi, mosquitto does not start, because there is no /var/mosquitto directory for its PID file.

Also creating directory does not solve the problem, because /run is tmpfs, so manually created directory won't be there on next reboot. As workaround, I simply added mkdir -p /run/mosquitto/ ; chown mosquitto /run/mosquitto to /etc/init.d/mosquitto script.

[DNG] Mosquitto cannot be started, because no /var/mosquitto directory (Devuan stable)
Hi, mosquitto does not start, because there is no /var/mosquitto directory for its PID file. Actually it cannot even be installed, because dpkg script already wants it. Also creating directory does not solve the problem, because /run is tmpfs, so manually created directory won't be there on next reboot. As workaround, I simply added mkdir -p /run/mosquitto/ ; chown mosquitto /run/mosquitto to /etc/init.d/mosquitto script. I guess this in Debian is done by some systemd magic, which could be needed to be "emulated" in Devuan, so I write here. What should I do?
