I don’t know what pm2 is, but it boils down to learning about the targets distribution init system or windows services and deploy your program in a way that it’s at least compatible with them, perhaps even provide necessary unit/service files.

You use the capabilities of your init system. The most prominent today is probably systemd, but which exactly is used on your system, I don’t know as you haven’t told which Linux you use.

Hey i use ubuntu 18 and centos 7

Both are on systemd iirc, I’m pretty sure about CentOS, though Ubuntu switched the init system a couple of times over the last 10 years, so you have to check there individually.

on linux you can use screen but when your system is turned off these screens are gone in other words program stops and other option is creating services by using following code

[Unit]
Description=Service description
Requires=network.target

[Service]
User=root
Restart=on-failure
ExecStart=/usr/bin/NAMEOFFILE

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

every time you do an update to your code just replace build with newer one at this path
/usr/bin/NAMEOFFILE

and run following command
sudo service NAMEOFSERVICE restart
