This question is off topic but the answer applies to standard versions of Ubuntu as well.

Your output says that the service is disabled. In order for the service to start at boot, you will need to use systemd to enable the service.

Run the following command to enable the service:

sudo systemctl enable ssh

Once a service is enabled, it will automatically start at boot.

Conversely, you would disable a service to prevent it from starting at boot:

sudo systemctl disable ssh
