Hi Alex,

some systemd services are parameterized (the part after "@"). Your systemd service file for OpenVPN takes the config name as parameter. Which is why you have to call
    systemctl start openvpn@serverA

To get the services to start on boot, try
    systemctl enable openvpn@serverA

You can view the status using
    systemctl status openvpn@serverA
this will also tell you where the service file is located so you can have a look inside.

The logs are available using
    journalctl -u openvpn@serverA

Regards,
Jiri

Hi all,

I am migrating a server setup with two serer configs (serverA.conf, serverB.conf) from Debian7 on a Debian9 server. I have removed server.conf.

When issuing systemctl start openvpn the server configs are not loaded.
I can load server configs only by issuing:

systemctl start openv@serverA
systemctl start openv@serverB

Also, what is troubling me is that on startup these configs are not started.

What is the best way to load these configs on startup?

Thanx,
Alex
