You try this (from https://github.com/blynkkk/blynk-server)?

I’ve had great success with the crontab- make sure you’re typing in the correct server version that you’ve downloaded. Also, have you actually tried starting up the server?

Enabling server auto restart on unix-like systems

To enable server auto restart find /etc/init.d/rc.local file and add :

java -jar /home/pi/server-0.15.2.jar -dataFolder /home/pi/Blynk &
Or in case above approach doesn't work for you, execute

crontab -e
add the following line

    @reboot java -jar /home/pi/server-0.15.2.jar -dataFolder /home/pi/Blynk &
