On most modern distributions, /var/run is deprecated and only kept for backwards compat according to
https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch05s13.html, and is a symlink to /run/ on modern distributions.

Old Distros that still don't have /run can update the gitea default as described in from-source.en-us.md to point to the old location.

Follow-up on https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/12391#issuecomment-674449861 and https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/pull/12485.
