问题

At a Windows AWS server i have a NODE app and i'm using PM2 to launch the app

I have tried the NPMs: "pm2-windows-startup" and "pm2-windows-service"

But after i restart my AWS instance and run

PM2 ls

No node app shows up in the list...

I followed the instructions ...

Installed the NPM (So PM2 auto start after reboot)
PM2 start myApp.js --name mySuperApp
PM2 save
Reboot
PM2 ls --> no running node apps? :-(

The PM2 logs dont contain any thing...

I have not added any ENV variables explicit (when i tried PM2 could not start any more - so i created a fresh AWS windows instance and installed every thing from scratch again...)

PM2 is located the default place (i have not changed any paths)

C:\Users\Administrator\.pm2

My PM2 file contains:

UPDATE 16 FEB 2020:

If it is important to you that PM2 automatically starts up without you logging into the machine (after reboot) please follow my new set of instructions instead of the old ones.

New instructions (recommended):

Prerequisites (part # 1):

First, I have installed NPM in a location which is available to all users. Depending on your use-case(s) it might not be necessary. But if you like to change your default location of NPM - you should do it first (before continuing). Here is how you change it to the location (in terminal as administrator): C:\NodeJS\npm:

npm config set prefix "C:\\NodeJS\\npm"
npm config set cache "C:\\NodeJS\\npm-cache"
npm config set temp "C:\\NodeJS\\temp"
npm config ls -l (this will list all NPM settings -> look for the 3 lines/changes marked as `overriden`)

Prerequisites (part # 2):

Add and set PM2_HOME in System environments (not user environments). Like: PM2_HOME = C:\NodeJS\npm
Add C:\NodeJS\npm to the existing system PATH variable (Then you are sure it will work - there has been some issues reported that PM2_HOME not always working).
Close all terminals and open them again (as administrator). Your terminal windows will now be aware of your environment changes.

Prerequisites (part # 3):

npm install pm2 -g
npm i pm2-windows-service -g
npm install -g npm-check-updates

Currently there is a bug in a module which the package pm2-windows-service uses - so lets fix this as well, please follow the steps below:

In terminal cd into: C:\NodeJS\npm\node_modules\pm2-windows-service
ncu inquirer this only outputs the existing and the newest available version of the inquirer module we need to update, currently: version: 1.1.2 --> 7.0.4.
ncu inquirer -u this will update your packages.json file.
npm install this will download and update the inquirer module (please be aware if you don't use specific version syntax in your packages.json file or you have made manually changes --> other modules would be updated as well.

Install and setup PM2 (as a service) to automatically startup after reboot:

In terminal cd into: C:\NodeJS\npm\node_modules\pm2-windows-service
pm2-service-install -n PM2_STARTUP_SCRIPT (PM2_STARTUP_SCRIPT will be the "Display name" of the Windows service. Change it to what you prefer and hit ENTER.)
Perform environment setup (recommended)? Yes
Set PM2_HOME? No (No need - You have set it already)
Set PM2_SERVICE_SCRIPTS (the list of start-up scripts for pm2)? Yes
Set the list of startup scripts/files (semi-colon separated json config files or js files) ENTER (when nothing is entered - it will default to use PM2's dump.pm2 file - which is created when you run PM2 -f save, I will return and explain this later on).
Set PM2_SERVICE_PM2_DIR (the location of the global pm2 to use with the service)? Yes
Specify the directory containing the pm2 version to be used by the service? ENTER

PM2 service installed and started.

Open Services in Windows and change the service to run as Administrator (or your preferred role).

Setup the app(s) you like PM2 to startup - when shutdown or after a reboot:

pm2 start myApp.js --name mySuperApp
pm2 -f save
reboot or if you use AWS (or any other cloud provider). Reboot your instance - wait 5 minutes and then log into the machine and execute pm2 ls and check your app has been up and running for ~ 5 min (and not only few secs because you just logged in).

Uninstall and cleanup "pm2-windows-startup" from your registry (if you switch from my "old instruction" to the new ones):

npm uninstall pm2-windows-startup -g
Delete the PM2 key from registry like in the picture below:

Old instructions (not recommended):

My old answer below is still working - but PM2 doesn't startup unless you log into the machine because it is loading PM2 from registry and doesn't run it as a service.

I don't know why - but after several attempts this worked out (at a fresh installed AWS Windows 2016 BASE instance)

npm install pm2 -g
npm install pm2-windows-startup -g
pm2-startup install
pm2 start myApp.js --name mySuperApp
pm2 save
reboot
pm2 ls

I found this tutorial very useful: https://blog.cloudboost.io/nodejs-pm2-startup-on-windows-db0906328d75

the first approach using 'nssm' and a .bat file not worked for me, so I followed approach 2: "Solution2: Using pm2-windows-service"

However, as mentioned in other answers, the pm2-windows-service has a bug, which this fork solved: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@innomizetech/pm2-windows-service

so instead of the old package:

npm install -g pm2-windows-service

use the new one:

npm install -g @innomizetech/pm2-windows-service

here a short summary of the tutorial:

Configure pm2

npm i -g pm2
copy C:\Users\USER\.pm2 to C:\etc\.pm2
set a new System Variable (not user level) name: PM2_HOME value: c:\etc\.pm2

Runnning your app with pm2

run your pm2 app. ie: pm2 start app.js --name=MY_API .
pm2 save to create a dump of the current apps running.

Testing app

to test everything is working, try: pm2 kill and then pm2 resurrect (app should be running, check with pm2 status )

Run at startup

now we need to perform the resurrect command at startup, so:

npm install -g @innomizetech/pm2-windows-service
pm2-service-install -n PM2 --unattended

thats it.

回答3:

pm2-windows-startup works great if you're okay with the fact that it is launched on login. If you have a reboot on a server though (say Windows Update) you are out of luck.

pm2-windows-service did work for me, using @innomizetech fork, but I've had some issues, probably due to the user or its setup, or something else. Basically the service would start an old version of the saved process list, even though I tried pm2 delete all, pm2 start ecosystem.config.js, pm2 save.

I resorted to a very simple home-made solution:

Create a file pm2-resurrect.sh in C:\, which contains the single line pm2 resurrect.
In Task Scheduler, add a new task that is run on boot, and select that it is run whether the user is logged in or not. You need to type the user password at this point which is saved for successive runs.
Set the task command to execute the file C:\pm2-resurrect.sh.

In my case I have Git for Windows which comes with bash, which opens the file and executes it. I didn't test it but I guess you could have a .cmd file with the same content.
