Zrok background mode

Hi,
Does Zrok have a background mode, headless mode still output to console, is the only to have have it run in background is to use nohup ?

Hey there @mbenachour, since you mentioned nohup, I think you're looking for a Unix solution.

There's a Linux package you can install on distributions that use Debian (deb) or RedHat (rpm) packages.

Here's a shortcut one-liner:

curl -sS https://get.openziti.io/install.bash | sudo bash -s zrok-share

Here's the "frontdoor" documentation about this, including how to set the account/enable token and share target as env vars: zrok frontdoor | Zrok

You can approach the same use case of a reliable background service with systemd or Docker.
