Auto-starting DrawIt

After you know that DrawIt is up and running, you should have a mechanism that auto-start the service.

SystemD

A common way to auto-start a service is to use systemd. There is a dedicated file for how to use this method.

PM2

Another way to start the service is using something called PM2. This can be used for any npm/node project.

Guide

1. Install PM2: npm install pm2
2. Install PM2 Logrotate: npm install pm2-logrotate
3. Start the server: pm2 start npm --name "drawit" -- start

You should now be running your very own DrawIt instance!
