After server reboot restart pm2
Hi,
I'm using Laravel Forge with DigitalOcean Ubuntu. I'm able to run my node.js server with pm2.
However, I would like pm2 to start after a server reboot.
I have tried and tested the following methods without success:
- use '''pm2 startup ubuntu''' and follow instructions. No warnings or error messages. (Including '''pm2 start app..js''' afterwards)
- use '''pm2 startup systemd''' and follow instructions. No warnings or error messages.
- setup '''@reboot''' cron via the Forge panel using a custom cron, but the form input validation does not allow this.
- The deamon functionality of the Forge panel seems not applicable to me here, as pm2 is a deamon manager itself.
I understand that I could use node <app.js>, but this does not give me the option to hot reload the server after a new code deploy.
If someone could suggest a solution, I'lldocument all steps involved with getting a node.js server up and running on node (documentation on this is lacking currently).
Kind regards,
Sander

Kind of, I got tired of trying the after.sh or config.vm.provision so I just do this one liner when booting my vagrant:
vagrant up && vagrant ssh -c "pm2 stop socket && pm2 restart socket"
Great tutorial for setting pm2: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-a-node-js-application-for-production-on-ubuntu-16-04
