When I restart the ubuntu server the node.js services in the server are not running in the background. I need to connect to the server and start the services whenever I restart the server.

You need to use pm2 is a advanced process manager for production Node.js applications. Load balancer, logs facility, startup script, micro service management, at a glance.

With this you can run in background

CodePudding user response：

Use PM2.

To install PM2:

npm install -g pm2

To start a node.js process:

pm2 start -n "My task name" /path/to/node/script

To list process:

pm2 list

To restart manually a process (after update for example):

pm2 restart <id of process>

PM2 will handle restart automatically in some case, or you can also tell PM2 to restart node process if script change. And many other cool things.
