REPLACED [2022-11-11 Fri] The below is hopefully informative, but it actually only causes a thing to deploy once and then to re-deploy on system restart. For instructions that ACTUALLY auto-deploy, see https://tech.toryanderson.com/2022/11/11/systemd-devops-run-and-restart-services/ Updated [2022-09-19 Mon] Fixed error in deploy script that occurred if trying to restart but nothing was in the docket Updated [2022-07-13 Wed] Enhanced the server-side deploy script to operate more transparently if files are missing.

This info worked from the Simplified guide: https://www.simplified.guide/linux/automatically-run-program-on-startup I wanted to start postgresql at startup, because I always end up starting it anyway. As a main-stream application I found it on the list: sudo systemctl list-unit-files --type=service Then I enabled it. sudo systemctl enable postgresql Done! If it hadn’t been on the list I suppose I would have had to make my own unit file for it, thereby adding it to the list.
