Automatically connect to wifi after reboot

Question

I have pocket wifi which is a portable wifi router.

It has a SSID and Password.

I want my RPi3 B+(ubuntu server 16.04) connect to that pocket wifi automatically after reboot.

Should I make some script that start when RPi boot up ?

please give me some advice !

What OS? What Pi model? What is a "pocket wifi"? What is a "static SSID" (is there any other kind)? — Milliways, Commented Nov 10, 2018 at 9:51
You should include this information in all questions (preferably as tags). Other answers will assume Raspbian, but Ubuntu MATE uses Network Manager (which AFAIK does not use wpa_supplicant - or at least wpa_supplicant.conf). I am unsure about the server. You would be better to ask on a Ubuntu site. — Milliways, Commented Nov 11, 2018 at 10:21

Edit the wpa_supplicant.conf file:

network={
    ssid="yourHiddenSSID"
    scan_ssid=1
    psk="Your_wifi_password"
}

Why do you assume the SSID is hidden? Why do you leave out some essential bits (like the country code)? Why do you assume OP's distro uses wpa_supplicant?
