How to autologin in a non-desktop environment?
Every time I boot my x86_64 Pi, I need to connect it to the display screen and log in, What methods can I try to auto-login while booting? I have no desktop environment.

If there is no keyboard and display attached then why do you need to log in locally?

Right, I found it, but I thought my pi is not a virtual console.

Is this an X-Y problem? What are you trying to achieve?

Your Pi isn't a virtual console, but the screen that you log into is.

What is the connection? Why would a server need to have any one logged in?
