Can't get motioneye to start after reboot

[James]

Hello again,

I had this previous issue that ended up in me needed to reinstall Ubuntu. So far I've reinstalled Ubuntu 24.04 and installed Docker to run motioneye. I got motioneye to install and run. I gave it my settings backup and all my cameras were working like before. But after a reboot motioneye can't manage to start. I checked the logs using docker logs -n 50 motioneye and get these errors:

INFO: hello! this is motionEye server 0.42
CRITICAL: pid directory "/run/motioneye" does not exist or is not writable
WARNING:root:unknown configuration option: list_media_timeout_telegram

I seemingly fixed this issue by pointing the run and log directory to inside /etc/motioneye. It seems to work fine, but I'm open to a better solution.
