Deployer does not exit

[workpush]

Hello!
I'm using deployer: v7.1.4
and using it to deploy my node applications over gitlab via ssh to my server "my-server.de", but the problem is, that it won't exit at the subtask "node:start".

deploy.php

task('deploy', [
    'deploy:info',
    'deploy:setup',
    'deploy:lock',
    'deploy:release',
    'deploy:update_code',
    'deploy:secrets',
    'npm:install',
    'deploy:shared',
    'deploy:writable',
    'deploy:clear_paths',
    'deploy:symlink',
    'deploy:unlock',
    'node:stop',
    'node:start',
    'deploy:cleanup',
    'deploy:success',
])->desc('Deploy your project');
[....]
task('node:start',function () {
    cd('{{release_path}}');
    run('./manage.sh safe_start &');
})->desc('Starting node');

manage.sh:

!#/bin/bash
start_mongo()
{
    if pgrep -x "mongod" >/dev/null
    then
        echo "mongod is already running."
    else
        echo "mongod not running...starting it"
        mongod -f ~/mongodb/mongod.conf
    fi
}
start_node()
{
    if pgrep -x "node" >/dev/null
    then
        echo "node is already running."
    else
        echo "node not running...starting it"
        cd ~/project/current && nohup npm start &>>logs/nohup.out &
    fi
}
safe_start()
{
    start_mongo
    start_node
}

deploy-log of 'node:start'

[my-server.de] /usr/bin/php7.4 /root/vendor/deployer/deployer/dep worker --port 37569 --task node:start --host my-server.de -vvv
[my-server.de] ssh '-p' '222' '-A' '-o' 'ControlMaster=auto' '-o' 'ControlPersist=60' '-o' 'ControlPath=/dev/shm/[email protected]:222' '[email protected]' ': 3a16c7f8e7d02d6e2c15; bash -ls'
[my-server.de] run cd ~/project/releases/24 && (./manage.sh safe_start &)
[my-server.de] mongod is already running.
[my-server.de] node not running...starting it

So it basically hangs at this last step and does not continue to deploy:cleanup. Do you see the problem?

Thank you!!

Well. I guess something like proper deamon will be needed for this.

BTW, Im working on project specifically for nodejs.

Thank you! Unfortunately I only have nohup availabe and no systemd or something else. I can't see, why it doen't work with that?

Cool! Where can I find it?

I solved it using pm2
