How to autostart a Nextcloud/VM with VMware Workstation on Linux/Ubuntu

I tried to use vmrun -T ws start /home/icke/nc/nextcloud.vmx nogui using crontab: Did not start the VM after reboot.

So this small video gave me the hint, how to make it happen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zdKZsgNOpM

Steps:
1. Use VMware Workstation GUI
2. Convert VM to a Shared VM
3. Enable Autostart option
4. Reboot Linux
5. Voila: VM is running without any login after reboot! ?
