Log dir for user instance services

[omnigenous]

What is appropriate directory to store services log files when running dinit as user instance?

For system instance we use /var/log/dinit but if logfile in user instance points to that dir dinit will, expectantly, return an error: dinit: SERVICE: execution failed - opening log file: Permission denied.

Hello.

This is a system policy related question and we don't say much about system/distribution politics in dinit. I assume that you use Artix Linux, So Artix Linux forum (https://forum.artixlinux.org) is probably a better place for your question.

Anyway you can store log files everywhere that you have permission to write at there, This means if system has not have any default path (has Artix?) you can create a directory in your system for user-services log files.

Ah I see, not right place to ask again, sorry :D

Was just wondering what is a good practice so I don't regret my nooby decision in future.

But you need to make the folder right? Otherwise dinit will fail to start the service.
