I have two server instances running with and without Internet routing from conf
files server.conf and serverlocal.conf.
I want to change them to the new handling.
So to switch over I assume could do as follows:
1) sudo systemctl stop openvpn
2) Edit /etc/default/openvpn and comment out the AUTOSTART= line
3) sudo mkdir /etc/openvpn/client ; sudo mkdir /etc/openvpn/server
4) sudo mv /etc/openvpn/server*.conf /etc/openvpn/server/
5) sudo systemctl enable openvpn-server@server
6) sudo systemctl enable openvpn-server@serverlocal
7) sudo systemctl start openvpn-server@server
8) sudo systemctl start openvpn-server@serverlocal
Would this be all that is needed?
This looks reasonable. You can combine the enable/start operations in
one go, for simplicity:
systemctl enable --now openvpn-server@server
The '--now' argument will run the 'start' command for you.
Or is there some other cleanup I need to perform in order to get it done
properly?
Some other service I need to stop?
Yes, you need to ensure that 'openvpn.service' and any
'openvpn@*.service' have been stopped. This is easy to check by running:
systemctl status openvpn.service openvpn@*.service
You can also ensure they are all stopped and disabled in a similar way
as enabling services:
systemctl disable --now openvpn.service openvpn@*.service
OK, so I have now run through the commands I listed.
After all is said and done I now have this (and the client connects fine):
sudo systemctl | grep openvpn
openvpn-server@server.service loaded active running OpenVPN service
for
server
openvpn-server@serverlocal.service loaded active running OpenVPN service
for
serverlocal
system-openvpn.slice loaded active active
system-openvpn.slice
system-openvpn\x2dserver.slice loaded active active
system-openvpn\x2dserver.slice
What are these *.slice items???
The best answer is found in:
man 5 systemd.slice
There is a lot of man pages for systemd, and it is all kept up-to-date
and answers almost everything you need to know about managing a system
with systemd.
