NodeBB disabled after server reboots

inna

Hello,

I have someone to install NodeBB on my server and it's working fine at the moment, but he tells me that I should not reboot the server because it makes NodeBB disabled, and I'm told to ask the reason and never reboot the server before it's figured out.

Ubuntu and Nginx are installed.

Do you have any ideas about this issue and how should I fix that?

Thank you both my friends I am so happy that again my forum is running
Both links solved my problem, but the only minor issue is that I should run

systemctl start nodebb
systemctl enable nodebb

each time I reboot the server, in which case it doesn't matter at all.

You shouldn't need to start and enable NodeBB every time you reboot the server, once you've enable'd it once, it should come up again every time you reboot.
