How do I keep ruby on rails alive when I close the terminal?

Posted January 13, 2015

I have set up a ruby on rails blog but when I close the terminal the site doesnt work. I want to be able to enter the site even though my server is not open. How can I do that? Thanks.

For any process that must remain running when you disconnect and is not a daemon (runs in the background) then you can use screen to background the process and safely disconnect.
