Using systemctl on Ubuntu 14.04

I have an Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS on the server and I'm trying to write OpenVPN server and I want to start a process using systemctl e.g.:
systemctl start openvpn@[server]
but got
Failed to get D-Bus connection: No connection to service manager.
as https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1387241 says,
You actually need to boot with systemd for systemctl to work
and I have to append "init=/bin/systemd" to the kernel command line. But here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/kernel_parameters I couldn't find any acceptable boot loader's file except /proc/cmdline.
I ran this command:
ps -p 1 -o comm=
and got
tini
I also tried to start the service by adding the config to the OpenVPN and starting the service:
openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/[server].conf
service openvpn@[server] start
but got
openvpn@[server]: unrecognized service
I'm currently stuck and I'd like to know if there is some way I could run the service or with some other command equivalent?

Do check your Ubuntu version since tag and title say it is 14.10 while body says 14.04.
