To set Nginx to automatically start on Ubuntu, follow these steps:

  1. Open the terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T).
  2. systemd is an initialization system and service manager for Linux operating systems.
  3. Use “sudo apt-get install systemd” to install systemd.
  4. nginx.service is the service for nginx.
  5. Edit the nginx.service file in the /etc/systemd/system directory using the sudo nano command.
  6. This unit describes the NGINX HTTP and reverse proxy server. It is set to start after syslog.target, network.target, remote-fs.target, and nss-lookup.target. The service is set to fork processes and the installation is wanted by multi-user.target.
  7. Use Ctrl+X, then press Y to save the file and exit the nano editor.
  8. Enable the nginx service using systemctl command.
  9. Start the nginx service using sudo systemctl.
  10. Check the status of the nginx service using systemctl.
