Best practice for running Parse Server in background on Ubuntu

I like forever

npm install -g forever
forever start index.js
forever restart index.js
forever stop index.js
forever logs

I normally use supervisord on ubuntu for easily starting services without the need to write custom start/stop scripts

forever is good although especially for development but in production If the server is restarted it won't start up the parse server instance... I'll have a look at supervisord

You can also try PM2, you can add it at startup and it can also handle reloading files after changing them.

I use PM2 in cluster mode. Totally recommend it 👍
