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.

Does this answer your question? [How do I run a node.js app as a background service?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4018154/how-do-i-run-a-node-js-app-as-a-background-service) – mikemaccana Mar 17 '22 at 09:40

Enable the service to autostart? What are you using to handle your node process, systemd? -> `systemctl enable
` – Marc Mar 17 '22 at 20:07

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.

You can also save your pM2 configuration with ``pm2 save`` and restore with ``pm2 resurect`` – Alaindeseine Mar 17 '22 at 09:56

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
