title: How do I get my Golang web server to run in the background?
body: <p>I have recently completed the <em>Wiki web development tutorial</em> (<a href="http://golang.org/doc/articles/wiki/" rel="noreferrer">http://golang.org/doc/articles/wiki/</a>). I had tons of fun and I would like to experiment more with the net/http package.</p>
  
  <p>However, I noticed that when I run the wiki from a console, the wiki takes over the console. If I close the console terminal or stop the process with <kbd>CTRL+Z</kbd> then the server stops.</p>
  
  <p>How can I get the server to run in the background? I think the term for that is running in a daemon.</p>
  
  <p>I'm running this on Ubuntu 12.04. Thanks for any help.</p>
