I installed OpenVPN with dietpi-software. Is there a recommended way to autostart openvpn with my configuration on boot?
Here’s how I start openvpn manually:
openvpn --auth-nocache --config .vpn_conf/pia.ovpn
Thanks!

I tried following this post which says to:
systemctl enable openvpn@<your configuration file name>
But that isn’t right, because when I run it, I get an error:
systemctl enable openvpn@/root/.vpn_conf/pia.ovpn
Failed to execute operation: Invalid argument
But maybe openvn is already setup a service? (sorry - I’m not too familiar with systemctl).
systemctl | ag 'openvpn'
openvpn.service loaded active exited OpenVPN service
openvpn@server.service loaded active running OpenVPN connection to server
system-openvpn.slice loaded active active system-openvpn.slice
It’s worth pointing out that I started openvpn directly with --deamon mode prior to this.
That leaves me wondering:
Thanks.
