How to keep instance running after disconnecting SSH.

0

So currently I have a Lightsail instance, with a domain connected to it.

I SSH into the instance and do ./run.sh which is a script I have to start a webserver. Great, the webserver now works and the domain is also working. But as soon as I disconnect the SSH connection, the website is no longer up. If I go back into it again, I can see that the processes are not running anymore, but my instance has been active this entire time.

How do I keep it running when I'm not connected to it?

    I'm not sure why I didn't think of this... for context, my run.sh even makes use of & to run some of the commands in there. Yep, doing ./run.sh & fixes it.
