nginx: [emerg] open() "/run/nginx.pid" failed (13: Permission denied)

Bug Overview

Hello everyone,

my project using the 1.27.5-alpine-slim image isnt working anymore.

Using the 1.27.4-alpine-slim works without a problem.

This are the docker logs:

2025/04/27 21:41:51 [notice] 1#1: using the "epoll" event method
2025/04/27 21:41:51 [notice] 1#1: nginx/1.27.5

nginx: [emerg] open() "/run/nginx.pid" failed (13: Permission denied)

I found this mentioned in your README but I am not overriding the default nginx.conf at all and so I was expecting it to work out of the box.

Expected Behavior

I was expecting that it works like the 1.27.4 version.

Steps to Reproduce the Bug

Start a project using 1.27.5-alpine-slim.

After using the newest images it seems to work again.

Thank you
