Reactjs – How can I start my MERN application automatically on startup?

So me and my friends created a small startup and I created a custom todo app for our team. I don’t want to deal with the expenses and struggles that come with uploading an application online, so I thought to myself what if I could copy the project to all 5 computers we are using, and somehow make it so that every time each one of start our computer, both Node backend and React frontend get started automatically without the need to go to vscode and start them manually. this way we all can work with this todo application, even though we haven’t put it online. The problem is that I don’t know wheater this is possible and if it’s possible, I don’t know how. can anyone help me with this?

    This is highly dependent on the operating system.

    From there, you would have to have the shell script launch your todo app however you’ve architected it to be launched.

    To automatically start a Node.js app, I would suggest using PM2 – https://pm2.keymetrics.io/docs/usage/quick-start/.

    For Unix based systems (Linux & Mac), you can use the pm2 startup option – https://pm2.keymetrics.io/docs/usage/startup/

    A quick reference for Linux:

    npm install pm2@latest -g
pm2 start app.js
pm2 startup
pm2 save

    For Windows OS, there is a little more effort, which is explained in this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/42770772/2136313
