Look into screen, tmux, or systemd for keeping it running after you log out.

Hi,

you should look out for some alternatives.

because it will create a very big log file nohup.out I think.

And over a long time I think it is not a good idea.

To run, systemd is very easy to setup. Once setup it will work forever and make sure your node is connected.

I advise you to look into systemd. Very useful …
