How to start asp.net core server on linux and keep it running

Question

I have created basic ASP.Net Core server on Azure Ubuntu VM. I have exposed the server to a port 80 using nginx. I am conecting to the VM via ssh. And starting the server with "dotnet run" command. That works fine.

However, every time I close the ssh connection, the server is stopping as well. Is there a way to start and keep running the asp.net core server on Linux without having an active ssh connection?

Answer 1

Basically what happens is:

1. You login with ssh
2. you startup an application under your user ( dotnet run )
3. Close your ssh => logging out user, which means application is closed.

You need to start a service outside of your user. Here is some information:
