Background Process is not running on the VM created using packer image

[Rohit Juyal]

Hello, I am creating an image using packer based on Ubuntu 16.04 OS. While creating the image I have executed this command in the script file to start a background process.

        command: "nohup gunicorn -b 0.0.0.0:7600 -w 1 -t 300 ae_app:app > updte.log 2>&1 &"

ae_app is an app created in python. While creating the image I can see the script running and process also started and then the image created. But when I create a VM using this image, the process is not running in the background.

AMI are essentially a disk image used to initiate the disk when creating a new instance. Of course processes don't survive reboots. It's probably good to pick up a book about Linux and specifically read up about systemd service units and systemd in general.
