The crontab “@reboot” approach mentioned in the hub’s installation guide has as benefit that it’s very easy to do, without the risk of messing up anything serious, because it doesn’t involve “sudo”. It also should work on just about any system - cron has been around for a long time.
But if you’re willing to do just a little more work, there’s actually a more flexible mechanism in recent Linux distributions, called systemd: it will take care of starting and stopping a service, all its output logs, and catching any runaway or otherwise failing launches.
