What is the correct way to leave gunicorn running?

Question

I want to make a Flask+Nginx+Gunicorn deployment. I have Nginx setup and running and I run gunicorn as described in the docs:

gunicorn app:app

Pay attention to Sean.

However you can run it on the fly like this:

nohup gunicorn -c config.py /dev/null 2>&1 and it will no longer be dependent on the terminal connection. You could replace >/dev/null with something like >somelogfile if you want to save any output.

But for production use it is best to get it integrated into whatever tool you use for managing processes.
