Automatically startup XAMPP Control Panel on each startup

[ino_mart]

All

I use Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS on which I installed XAMPP 8.2.0-0. I want to have XAMPP Control Panel automatically startup each time I log in. So a command as next should be executed: sudo /opt/lampp/manager-linux-x64.run
It is not the intention to startup up the background services at startup. I want the have this specific application to be started up in which I manually click on "start all".

I found a dozens of solution on the internet, but none of they work. Or XAMPP does not startup after loggin, or I get errors such as "service is not transient", "file does not exist", ...
