It's the systemd complaining that you should change the config how the program is started.

This is what the Filesystem Hierarchie Standard ( https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch05s13.html ) says about the /var/run directory:
This directory was once intended for system information data describing the system since it was booted. These functions have been moved to /run; this directory exists to ensure compatibility with systems and software using an older version of this specification.

Modern Linux distributions issue a warning when /var/run is used, that is what you see.
