I want to make a Flask+Nginx+Gunicorn deployment. I have Nginx setup and running and I run gunicorn as described in the docs:

gunicorn app:app

But when I logout of the server the gunicorn process exits? What is the correct way to make sure it stay running for Nginx to connect to, and restarts if it crashes?

Use --daemon option while running gunicorn. Example:

gunicorn grand56.wsgi:application --name grand56 --workers 3 --user=root --group=root --bind=127.0.0.1:1001 --daemon
