Genie.jl app stops running after I start it with up() function and close Julia

Question

I would like to deploy Genie.jl app. So, I start it using up() function with user specified hostname and port and also async=true. Later I closed Julia expecting the app to work but it doesn't.

May I know what should I be doing?

Thank you

Answer 1

xgdgsc's skepticism is right.

When you close Julia, there is nothing running your code anymore, so your web app shuts down. You need to look into hosting services if you don't want to host it yourself/ leave your computer running Julia 24/7.

Answer 2

The only way I found is to use tmux.

Run Genie.jl app in tmux and detach tmux session and it runs in the background.
