Hi,
If I install openvpn 2.4.6 with official apt repository all is as expected, I have templated systemd openvpn services.

if I reinstall it with deb package compiled on my own with these options

Code: Select all

./configure --prefix=/ --exec-prefix=/usr --includedir=/usr/include --datarootdir=/usr/share --enable-systemd=yes

I don't have /lib/systemd/system/openvpn.service anymore and now all my profiles are set under one big openvpn process

Code: Select all

systemctl status openvpn

Hi again.
So my problem is my deb packet doesn't create systemd files.
When I make systemctl start openvpn it uses earlier left here /etc/init.d/openvpn

What --enable-systemd=yes option does? Does it add /lib/systemd/system/openvpn.service and /lib/systemd/system/openvpn@.service files to deb packet? Or should I do it myself?
Thanks in advance.

This compilation option adds code which supports systemd functions .. it does not create the systemd .service files. I believe the .service files are provided by your distro maintainer.
