I'm currently setting up a worker-only host on openSUSE Leap 15.0 with
openQA-worker-4.5.1526033850.1ad9148d-lp150.1.1.noarch installed.
After installing the package and adjusting the workers.ini and client.conf I
tried to start openqa-worker@1 and encountered the following issue:

[info] CACHE: caching is enabled, setting up
/var/lib/openqa/cache/openqa.chell.qa.suse.de
[debug] Found possible working directory for http://openqa.chell.qa.suse.de:
/var/lib/openqa/share
[error] Ignoring host 'http://openqa.chell.qa.suse.de': Working directory does
not exist.
mkdir -p /var/lib/openqa/share/ was needed to bring up the worker successfully.

My workers.ini as reference:

[global]
HOST = http://openqa.chell.qa.suse.de
CACHEDIRECTORY = /var/lib/openqa/cache

[1]
WORKER_CLASS=64bit-ipmi
IPMI_HOSTNAME=openqaw4-sp.qa.suse.de
IPMI_USER=admin
IPMI_PASSWORD=qatesting
SUT_IP=openqaw4.qa.suse.de
MAX_JOB_TIME=32000
OPENQA_URL=openqa.suse.de

[2]
WORKER_CLASS = 64bit-ipmi
IPMI_HOSTNAME = openqaw3-sp.qa.suse.de
IPMI_PASSWORD = qatesting
IPMI_USER = admin
MAX_JOB_TIME = 32000
SUT_IP = openqaw3.qa.suse.de

[openqa.chell.qa.suse.de]
TESTPOOLSERVER = rsync://chell.qa.suse.de/openqa-tests

IMHO this folder should be packaged to provide the best out-of-the-box
experience.
