A method or http route to cleanly shutdown the server

[ErgoCreate]

I have been tinkering with this amazing software with the intent of incorporating it into a mardown edition software, but it needs to run as a background service when i run my user interface, and i have problems to cleanly exit my process because the server doesn't exit when the rest of the program does. (i'm running it in a thread at the moment).

Is there a way to add something like a "http://localhost:3000/quit" route to tell the server to shutdown?

Is there a better way to cleanly shutdown the server from another thread? I know i too can kill the process if i start it as a subprocess, but i'm looking for a better option.

oh my god please don't do that, i hope you are not serious. i made this program more or less for myself, it should work, and i will update it from time to time, but please don't rely on it. :/

anyways, sending the process SIGTERM should do it

Well, that it keeps the dark theme and follows automatically the changes are very nice features that other live markdown preview servers don't have 😕, and the software i am making is just for myself, so don't worry. I understand if this is experimental, i have a ton of experimental programs for myself too.

By the way, I ended up running it as a subprocess and killing the process on exit.

Anyways, I added live math support and this is how it is coming along!
