Hi list,I don't use systemd myself but I think the attached patch might be still very useful.

From a0e57ca4958e22107ee117e2bbe14b4525496a9a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Ruppert <[email protected]> Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2026 17:36:39 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] MEDIUM: systemd: Check for CFGDIR and create it if necessary 90c5618 adds a new config directory, CFGDIR / conf.d. As it is mandatory, upgrading from <3.4 to >=3.4 and not having it might cause a downtime because during a restart, systemd will stop haproxy and try to start it again, which fails due to the directory being missing. See e.g. https://bugs.gentoo.org/977119 So using ConfigurationDirectory (relative to /etc/) will make sure it exists and if not, it's being created by systemd. This should make upgrades less painful Signed-off-by: Christian Ruppert <[email protected]> --- admin/systemd/haproxy.service.in | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/admin/systemd/haproxy.service.in b/admin/systemd/haproxy.service.in index b5dddfb79..7593cdfe7 100644 --- a/admin/systemd/haproxy.service.in +++ b/admin/systemd/haproxy.service.in @@ -4,6 +4,7 @@ After=network-online.target Wants=network-online.target [Service] +ConfigurationDirectory=haproxy/conf.d EnvironmentFile=-/etc/default/haproxy EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/haproxy Environment="CONFIG=/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg" "PIDFILE=/run/haproxy.pid" "CFGDIR=/etc/haproxy/conf.d" "EXTRAOPTS=-S /run/haproxy-master.sock" -- 2.53.0
