Looks like there's a cron job and a socket for it in the package. So are
you sure you're even supposed to run it as a service? They do include an
approx@.service so you could run it as whichever user you want but it
makes me think that's not the idea here.

Maybe the documents in /usr/share/doc/approx give more information about
the intended usage. I've only taken a quick peek at the file list.

I am not familiar with the term "approx.service".
I have not touched the approx server (running Debian 9) for a couple
of years or more.  It "just runs".  I have used the server without
change to the configuration files for netinstalls since Debian 8 or 9,
and the latest was to install Debian 12.

In the mirror selection of netinstall, I only have to type in the host
ip address and port:  "192.168.1.40:9999".
