Networking and servers • Autostart hotspot

Hi,
I'm a beginner with raspi and I intend to use it to provide different services on board my sailship. I've just installed it on openplotter my raspi3 and ss I will not get any keyboard or screen for the raspi onboard my sailship, my phone will be the only way to access it (by VNC or SSH). Though I want to be sure that the wifi hotspot will always be enable when I reboot, even if, by any kind of mistake I disable it. I tried , it doesn't work.
and I saw this thread viewtopic.php?p=2251310&hilit=boot+hotspot#p2251310

If you do
sudo nmtui
in a terminal window, you can untick the autoconnect for the current profiles.
Then add a bridge entity that includes the ethernet and wifi of the Pi4. Set all to autoconnect and reboot.

The RPI docs area likely also has a 'how to', you can read yourself.

Would you have more details ? I don't undertand how is this supposed to work.

Thanks a lot in advance !
