How to run Daphne Server (Django Channels) & workers in the background?

Question

I have installed Django Channels. I am trying to run the following commands to run Daphne server and a worker.

> daphne chat.asgi:channel_layer --port $PORT --bind 0.0.0.0 -v2
> python manage.py runworker -v2

But each command opens up a live terminal showing logs. I just want to run them as background processes. Can anyone show me how to do this?

For these type of tasks, you should use supervisor.

At the moment nohup & is working alright for me. The following commands run the processes in the background.

> sudo nohup daphne MyProject.asgi:channel_layer --port 80 --bind 0.0.0.0 -v2 &
> sudo nohup python manage.py runworker -v2 &

kill -9 [pid] should help kill them when needed.
