There are several options:

  • Create a systemd service

+: Can launch application without logging in

-: Requires learning how to add a systemd service

  • Autostart application on startup

+: Easy

-: Requires logging in before it starts

  • Use system Docker container

+: Quite easy

-: Works without logging in

  • Use Podman container with systemd-service

+: Doesn’t require root permissions

I recommend going with Docker because Flatpak isn’t really meant for server applications.

Just a small note: docker can also run rootless for a while. The configuration is slightly convoluted, but can be done.
