Screen creates a full, physical terminal session inside the Linux kernel. When you disconnect from SSH, the virtual terminal stays exactly as it is, running in the background.<\/p>\n

1. Install screen:<\/p>\n

Bash
\nsudo apt update && sudo apt install screen -y
\n2. Start a new named screen session:<\/p>\n

Bash
\nscreen -S flask-search
\n(Your terminal will clear\u2014you are now inside a detached-ready terminal container).<\/p>\n

3. Activate your environment and start the API in the foreground:<\/p>\n

Bash
\nsource llm_venv\/bin\/activate
\npython semantic_search_api.py
\nLet it run normally. Verify that your website search button works and the green terminal box connects successfully.<\/p>\n

4. Detach from the session:
\nPress Ctrl + A, then press D.<\/p>\n

You will drop back to your normal terminal, with a message saying [detached from ...]. You can now safely type exit and close your SSH connection. The script will keep running exactly as if you were still watching it.<\/p>\n

To go back and check on it later: SSH back into your box and run: screen -r flask-search<\/p>\n

To detach again: Ctrl + A, then D.<\/p>\n

COPY ISP files to local WSL2 terminal:
