There may be an even simpler solution: I tested the software on a Devuan Ascii: just an install from the repository automatically included by Devuan...
sudo apt-get install minidlna
did the trick.
It included a standard Init-SysV script to be found in /etc/init.d
OpenRC can handle that, it worked right immediately.
You can download the source files from https://sourceforge.net/projects/minidlna/files/minidlna/1.2.1/, unpack it, ./configure with the right options and  compile it (make, sudo make install)
The tar package includes a sample LSB init script. If you are good at it, you could make an AUR package of it :-)
Good luck. André

The problem is: In Artix the /lib/lsb/init-functions are not implemented. It seems adherence to LSB standards could help....
Devuan ascii has implemented it.  Is there a package for LSB functions? I have found none so far.

To all of you: hello
I have created a very minimalistic init script for you. It is tested and it works without any trouble.

Make sure you have the latest mirrorlist and pacman -Syu updates.
Then you install minidlana, it comes from some repo ready for Arix, but it provides no init-script.
sudo pacman -S minidlna

Now read this:

The Open-RC INIT script:
A very simplistic, minimal init script for OpenRC and minidlna
(Derived from file: /etc/init.d/ntpd)
-----------------------------------------

Configuration File:
/etc/minidlna.conf

PID File:
/var/run/minidlna/minidlna.pid

Watches:
8192 --> should be higher. i.e.:
echo 16384 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches:


The Init Script:
/etc/init.d/minidlna:

command="/usr/bin/minidlnad"
command_args=""

depend() {
   use net dns logger
   
}

start_pre() {
   if [ ! -f /etc/minidlna.conf ] ; then
      eerror "Please create /etc/minidlna.conf"
      return 1
   fi
   return 0
}
<-----------------------------------------

Set up service to autostart:
sudo sudo rc-update add minidlna

Start/Stop service:
sudo rc-service minidlna start
sudo rc-service minidlna stop

I hope I have not violated any copyright or whatever rule. It's just there to help you.
Tested on Sun, 29-APR-2018: Works perfectly well

Well, now, that looks nice. Thank you.
As soon as I can get a new artix-iso that installs and is actually able to do the update again..... I will test that new nice package.
Just when does such an iso come out (open-rc)? The old one (early 2018) fails constantly to update correctly. I seem to have no luck editing mirrorlists and paqcman.conf files.
Regards

You can install an OpenRC system from a runit iso.

The question is how to install a runit system from a runit-iso?
With both installation methods I ended up with an openrc installation.

What?
Just do "basestrap /mnt base base-devel runit".

Now I know

It is written in the wiki, in kind of little hidden way

Use basestrap to install the base and optionally the base-devel package groups and your preferred init (currently available: openrc and runit):
Code: [Select]
 basestrap /mnt base base-devel openrc
