Ack. > >> ExecStartPre=/bin/mkdir -p /var/run/minidlna > > You might want to use this opportunity to replace /var/run with /run. > >> ExecStartPre=/bin/chown $USER /var/run/minidlna 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.
