It appears to be working correctly. Is there another problem?

The problem is that when I restart the server it doesn’t start automatically, I already ran systemctl enable
Then that usually means Nginx tries to start before the network is online so the ip used is not available.
Show the output of this command:
systemctl cat nginx

These two directives should be enough to wait until the network is online, but seems your server is taking more time to get the ip.
Show the output of these commands (replace enp0s3 by your actual interface name):
systemctl status NetworkManager-wait-online.service
systemctl status systemd-networkd-wait-online.service
networkctl status enp0s3 --no-pager -l
journalctl -b | grep -i enp0s3

Too many Xs, I understand you don’t want to shre the ips bu I don’t know what’s your public ip or ips, or if they are private, etc.
You could modify the nginx service to add Requires=network-online.target to the Unit block and maybe a sleep to Service block.
I would override the conf file using systemctl edit nginx and before the line ### Lines below this comment will be discarded wrote this and save the file.
[Unit]
Requires=network-online.target
[Service]
ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 10
Once done, just in case systemctl daemon-reload and restart the server to test it.

Unfortunately, your solution didn’t solve the problem, but you gave me a great idea.
override on Apache2
sudo systemctl edit apache2
[Unit]
After=network-online.target named.service
Wants=network-online.target
override on Nginx
systemctl edit nginx
[Unit]
After=network-online.target named.service
Wants=network-online.target
Refresh systemd
sudo systemctl daemon-reexec
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
Check services is enabled
systemctl enable apache2
systemctl enable nginx
I left the solution for posterity, NOW WORKS! <3 THANKS <3
