I've installed the ocserv package using these commands on Ubuntu 22:

mkdir /usr/local/src/ocserv 
cd /usr/local/src/ocserv 
wget ftp://ftp.infradead.org/pub/ocserv/ocserv-0.10.9.tar.xz 
unxz ocserv-0.10.9.tar.xz 
tar xvf ocserv-0.10.9.tar 
cd ocserv-0.10.9 
./configure --sysconfdir=/etc/ && make && make install

The ocserv package is installed and it run and works with this command:

ocserv -c /etc/ocserv/ocserv.conf

I need it to run as a service though. Can you please help me doing this?

I couldn't use the Linux repository to install this package because of some considerations.

    What do you mean that you want to run it as a service? Do you want systemd to automatically run it on boot? – Archisman Panigrahi Jan 18 '23 at 14:28

    https://linuxhandbook.com/create-systemd-services/ is a very good start – Rinzwind Jan 18 '23 at 14:30

    Misuse of the term "package" and a misleading title. That process does not install the "ocserv package". That process compiles un-packaged ocserv software from source code. Big difference. – user535733 Jan 18 '23 at 14:43

    The source package appears to provide example .service files for both standalone and socket-activated systemd services, under ocserv-0.10.9/doc/systemd/ – steeldriver Jan 18 '23 at 16:12
