user100854: I have bitcoind installed on my VPS runing Ubuntu 18.04, and I want to configure it to launch bitcoind on startup.
What the best way to do so with my configuration ?

user101498: To start bitcoind at startup on a system using systemd, use the service configuration provided in contrib/init/ from the root of the bitcoin-core repository.
You can then manage bitcoind as any other systemd service (and possibly have some other rely on it, such as a Lightning Network implementation's service).
systemctl start bitcoind
systemctl stop bitcoind
# This enables launching the service at startup
systemctl enable bitcoind
