I have a Go script that creates an HTTP request and responds to any incoming requests. I want this script to run on a Linux server. However, I can't keep the ssh connection active forever, and when it disconnects the script also stops, as expected. I know that you have 'forever' for NodeJS that fixes this issue. I was wondering if something similar also exists for Golang, as I was not able to find anything. Any other tips on how to fix this are also very welcome.

1A go program cannot accurately be called a script, since they are compiled into a statically linked binary. The most straight forward solution to running a service on Linux is with an init script , or more likely today, a system d unit– erik258Commented Dec 26, 2021 at 21:23

There are mainly three options here, one is to use the nohup command, the other is to use the screen command, and the last is the upgraded version of byobu of screen. After reading these three commands, I actually prefer to use the byobu command, because the byobu command is more powerful, an upgraded version of screen, and the interface is more friendly.
