Continuously run process with pm2

I'm trying to have node processes run continuously. I am able to start them with pm2 through ssh from my local machine, but that automatically disconnects every morning at 00:00. How can I get pm2 to run these processes without ever shutting them down?

  Hey @PluggedP93 I'm not actually familiar with pm2 and I spoke with @cPanelHB on this briefly as well - he suggested passenger and potentially the following:

  Hi Lauren, Thanks for the response! (And HB as well). I'd honestly never heard of Passenger before, so I'll look into that! A colleague has also been recommending I use Docker instead, what would be your thoughts on that? Thanks!

  cPanel's support for docker right now (though extremely popular) is limited and it might be more work to get it running/support for it with docker.

  Alright, good to know! Looking into Passenger, I believe my initial problem may have been poorly explained. I believe that whether I use pm2, Passenger, or even Docker, the server seems to reset every night and kill every lingering process (therefore killing my website). Is there a way for me to stop the server from killing them or, if it does, make them automatically restart?

  I believe the reason for the restart script I noted is because there isn't a way to keep it from killing the process.
