I am trying to use the module pm2
to start my node js app everytime the server boots.
I have used the command pm2 startup ubuntu
but each time I restart the server, my application is not running and I have to start it manually again.
Any ideas what is causing this issue?
Make sure you do save your processes:
pm2 start app.js
pm2 startup ubuntu
pm2 save
Once you have started the apps and want to keep them on server reboot
do: pm2 save

Go to your server directory and use the following commands:
pm2 start <your_app_name.js>
pm2 startup ubuntu
pm2 save
