Hello,
I have a Python Django application runing on my droplet. I run it via command
python manage.py runserver 127.0.0.1:8001
And i have nginx server forwarding requests to that local server. Everything is runing smoothly.
The problem is: When i run
python manage.py runserver 127.0.0.1:8001
command, i can’t do anything else, or if i reconnect it using ssh my local server stops. How can i make it run all the time at background?
