Auto Start

You need to create a service file in /etc/systemd/system/

Example pwserver.service

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/pwserver.service

[Unit]
Description=LinuxGSM Palworld Server
After=network-online.target
Wants=network-online.target

[Service]
Type=forking
User=ts3server
WorkingDirectory=/home/ts3server
#Assume that the service is running after main process exits with code 0
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/home/ts3server/ts3server start
ExecStop=/home/ts3server/ts3server stop
Restart=no

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

ctrl+x then y

You need to reload the systemd-daemon once to make it aware of the new service file by systemctl daemon-reload

Now you can do

systemctl start ts3server # Start the server
systemctl stop ts3server # Stop the server
systemctl enable ts3server # Enable start on boot
systemctl disable ts3server # Disable start on boot

Auto updates

crontab -e
