\nI’m a big fan of Stack Overflow<\/a> and I tend to contribute regularly (am currently in the top 0.X%<\/a>).\u00a0In this category (stackoverflow<\/a>)\u00a0of posts, I will be posting my top rated questions and answers. This, btw, is allowed as explained in the meta thread here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As you may know, I’m really into Ionic framework lately\u00a0and am helping out on StackOverflow with the knowledge I gained so far with the framework. I’m in the top All time answerers<\/a> list.<\/p>\n

I answered this question<\/a>\u00a0by user Santhosh Aineri<\/a>:<\/p>\n

I am using Ionic framework for one application. The code is on a linux server. I am running the application using ionic serve command through putty.<\/p>\n

But, the problem is if I close the putty the application is stopped. Is there any way to run the ionic serve permanently as a daemon process?<\/p>\n

My answer<\/a> was:<\/p>\n

I’m suspecting you’re trying to do this because you want to serve your Ionic app as a web app, correct?<\/p>\n

In that case – you don’t have to run ionic serve<\/code> permanently. All you have to do is take all the code from the www<\/code> folder and place it in the http<\/code> folder (or any other which is valid for your system) of your web server.<\/p>\n

So, basically, spin up apache (or nginx) and serve the code from the Ionic’s www<\/code> folder. Basically, ionic serve<\/code> command does the same thing – it spins up a local web server and serves the content from the www folder. It does that for faster local testing.<\/p>\n

You can take a look at this SO question<\/a> for more info on how to deploy Ionic as a website.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
