code-server —link background

[DaStormer]

Is it possible to run code-server --link in the background?

I thought you would be able to with code-server --link & but that doesn't work for me locally. cc @code-asher or @oxy any ideas?

[DaStormer]

This worked for me. Thank you!

[jsjoeio]

Oh! Maybe it was working and I killed the process lol glad it worked!

you can also run "bg" or "&"

TIL about bg! Thanks for the tip @Said113 🙌

You can also create a systemd service and simply run it with the --link flag. You'll need to monitor the logs to get the initial OAuth URL to link with GitHub, but then you're good to go
