How to keep springboot application alive after exiting putty

Question

I am running my spring boot application on my server using putty via command mvn spring-boot:run and it runs only when I have open ssh session. Is it possible to keep application alive after I disconnect session? Or do I have to make executable war file and deploy to installed tomcat server on my ubunntu 14.04. I know others ways to deploy boot apps but I want to know if it is possible in my approach.

Answer 1

You can run the command in the background and with nohup like so

nohup mvn spring-boot:run &

When you do this, the application runs in background even after you close ssh session.

Answer 2

在putty中，你需要使用nohup mvn spring-boot:run > spring-log.txt &在后台运行命令，这会生成spring-log.txt文件。

Answer 3

If you don't want console logs to be written (you have logging frameworks which handles the application logs) then use this command

nohup mvn spring-boot:run </dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 & 

BTW, just curious, why are you using mvn spring-boot:run to run your program in your server? doesn't that require you to have maven runtime installed in your server as well?

Answer 4

如果要部署可执行jar

nohup java -jar <your jar name>
