I have followed the instructions of https://switch2osm.org/serving-tiles/manually-building-a-tile-server-20-04-lts/ and it worked initially, but after rebooting I get the following error message:

Are you sure that the UNIX user you are running this under ("el") actually has write permissions on /var/run/renderd? Try the command touch /var/run/renderd/testfile to check. If that gives you an error messsage, you need to "su" into a different account or change the permissions or ownership of /var/run/renderd.

The "Running renderd in the background" part of https://switch2osm.org/serving-tiles/manually-building-a-tile-server-20-04-lts/ ensures that access to /var/run is maintained. After a reboot, if you want to run

renderd -f -c /usr/local/etc/renderd.conf

again you'll need to do

sudo mkdir /var/run/renderd
sudo chown renderaccount /var/run/renderd

again first. https://switch2osm.org/serving-tiles/manually-building-a-tile-server-20-04-lts/ doesn't mention this because it doesn't expect you to want to run "Running renderd for the first time" more than once.
