feat: daemon mode

[drev74]

Hello

I'm new to NATS and natscli. I'm running a NATS JetStream with nats server run --jetstream AJC.
I eventually need to log out from my VM, where I run this. This makes me drop the server.

Is there a way to run a nats server in a daemon mode? Smth like nats server run -d --jetstream AJC, where you normally specify -d to run in a daemon mode.

I'm not sure whether this is a documentation or a feature request.

For that you need to set up a nats-server instance perhaps in a container or kubernetes. The “nats server run” is specifically just for quick access to a local development environment that’s ephemeral.

See docs.nats.io

Hi @ripienaar
Thanks for your advice. I was following this to run a nats-server.

However, there's still no option to run nats in a daemon mode. I wanna run it on a VM and purposely avoid Docker. How do I run nats on a bare metal in a daemon mode ?

Use the systemd units found here https://github.com/nats-io/nats-server/tree/main/util

I found an old discussion on this here

@ripienaar thanks for your advice. systemd does the job
