Hi,

So when I launch my node in CMDER and quit or logout the node stops. Does anyone here knows how to fix this? I run the node on a VPS and use CMDER to connect to the VPS.

Thanks in advance.

Greetz,

Ghost

Hello Ghost,

please have a look at the some documentation on how to run the cardano node as a systemd service. This way you can be sure, that your nodes will have maximum availability and will start even after a reboot due to power outage for example.

I am running my nodes as a systemd service within a terminal multiplexer called tmux. You can start off by looking at this tutorial, section 18.6:

Also please have a look at this great tmux quick start guide:
