[SOLVED] get a directory into /run for custom project

[sligo]

What would be the correct way of getting a directory created in /run? I would like to create a directory to put a .socket file there for a custom project but since /run is tmpfs, this directory will be lost when i create it by hand.

You should add a file to /etc/tmpfiles.d; see /lib/rc/sh/tmpfiles.sh which is run by /etc/init.d/tmpfiles.setup in line with systemd tmpfiles which afair (I helped write the script, but don't blame me for the awful style;) is the same as the initcpio setup in kernel.

You can install that as part of your ebuild, if your custom project is managed via ebuilds (highly recommended course of action.)
