How can i set Service mssql-server to start on boot 

    root@ubuntu-s-1vcpu-2gb-lon1-01:/etc/init.d# update-rc.d  mssql-server enable
update-rc.d: error: cannot find a LSB script for mssql-server
root@ubuntu-s-1vcpu-2gb-lon1-01:/etc/init.d# update-rc.d system.ctl mssql-server enable
usage: update-rc.d [-n] [-f] <basename> remove
       update-rc.d [-n] <basename> disable|enable [S|2|3|4|5]
                -n: not really
                -f: force

The disable|enable API is not stable and might change in the future.

If you are using Ubuntu 16.04, as reported in the question tag, you should use systemctl instead. To enable the service at startup:

systemctl enable mssql

To disable the service at startup:

systemctl disable mssql

Maybe the service name would be mssql-server, so try first with mysql then with mysqld
