Start Next.js apps on Ubuntu server reboot with pm2

Question

pm2 is really great for running my Next.js app on my Linode cloud server, running Ubuntu 20. However, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to run my Next.js apps on a system reboot.

What I have been doing is going in and using:

pm2 start npm --name "my app" --start manually.

So how do I have it run automatically on reboot?

Answer 1

Use pm2 startup to generate a Systemd service. Docs.
