Hi,

if your problem is only to keep the command running while/after you disconnected to the container you can use the “screen” command.
It you should be installed with Ubuntu already. If not you can install it with

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y screen

You then start a new screen with

screen -S NAME

while NAME is simply an alias and could be something like “mm”.

After this you can start the mirror with

npm run server

And you can leave the screen with the keyboard combination

CRTL+ad

The screen then keeps running. If you want the resume to the screen you can use

screen -r NAME

Thanks, so it is going :-)

@kusselin and typically you would setup the container to run MM inside without user intervention… so none of those commands would be needed

Hi sam, unfortunately I have not yet understood why the server always stops when closing putty???

With the command npm run server I start the server… why does the container stop again?

[sdetweil]

@kusselin because that is the way it works. when the terminal window closes, any running app also is forced closed. it’s a security thing

during development I would not close the window. after you are happy, I would make the container auto start mm as part of it’s startup.
a containers design is to run ONE app.

I do not know how I do this w lxc containers
w docker, u add a property to the Dockerfile to tell what app to start
