Comment 21 for bug 1938571

at least {config_dir}/var/run is already created: by BaseSwanProcess.ensure_config_dir. That should allow the bind-mount to work. I'm not sure if one needs to create the pluto directory manually.

So could you check the {config_dir}/var/run folder? There should be a pluto directory in it with the .pid and .ctl files.

Unfortunately I cannot spend much time and don't have a rocky linux 9 / Kolla environment at hand to quickly try out if it works for me. I will still try to reproduce it, but need to ask for some patience.
