| Nov 10, 2017 at 10:56 | comment | added | Zip | It's pretty much that what I am suggesting. You can "override" the openvpn unit file, updating the ExecStart= line to include an extra --config path/to/conf, where you can have as many parameters as you'd like. If your unit doesn't have such line, please add it to the question so I can figure it out, but mine does. Tell me so I can update the answer accordingly... | |
| Nov 10, 2017 at 10:50 | comment | added | user779159 | Is /usr/lib/systemd/system/[email protected] the systemd unit file you're referring to? How exactly can I modify that file to add the 5 config params I need to from the question? Ideally I could create a single file with just those 5 lines it and refer to it in the unit file so that so I can add just one thing to that unit file instead of 5 things. | |
| Nov 10, 2017 at 10:38 | comment | added | Zip | You can edit/copy the systemd unit file to include the option as it calls openvpn. Also a good practice would be to remove the duplicate lines from existing configs (avoiding conflicts), hence you can just add the config entry as you do it. Would it be enough? I can add it to the answer... | |
| Nov 10, 2017 at 10:12 | comment | added | user779159 | I've updated my question to show that I'm starting the vpns with systemd, how could I pass the --config option to systemd? I don't want to include the config option inside the config file because there are a lot of config files, I'd rather do it centrally like in some openvpn or systemd central configuration. | |
