How should daemon directories be created, and who's responsible for it?
I'm writing a daemon for the first time and I'm wondering who is responsible to create the directories it needs (Another question could be if am using a good pattern or not, feel free to comment on that too).
I'm following this file structure:
/var/lib/{{ daemon_name }}/main.py - main file
/var/run/{{ daemon_name }}/{{ daemon_name }}.pid
/var/log/{{ daemon_name }}/{{ daemon_name }}.log
The thing is that neither of this folders exist in client's machine.
Should the daemon itself create them?
Should it be the responsibility for the installation? I'm thinking on using a bash script for installation.
Should I create a user to own all this folders and contain any security issue?
Thanks in advance!
