Daemonize the executable

[cyanide-aoe2]

Currently using screen. However, it would be nice to have a --daemon flag that daemonizes the server-manager binary.

I would suggest to use something like:

http://supervisord.org/

(or docker)

No need for a daemon, just use docker or create a systemd (depending on the distro) service.

We provide a docker image. for simple setup use the example compose file: docker-compose.simple.yaml

You could use a Systemd service if you're avoiding Docker. Assuming that your ofsm location is in /opt, it could look like this:

[Unit]
Description=Open Factorio Server Manager

[Service]
WorkingDirectory=/opt/ofsm
ExecStart=/opt/ofsm/factorio-server-manager

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

If you're using something like OpenRC because you're also avoiding Systemd then you can make services for that too.

But the easiest way is to use Docker as Mattie112 and knoxfighter have said.
