You could run it as a service & you wont see the console and it wont quit even if you log-off

Example: [Running Multiple Instances of Node-red using NSSM - #2 by Steve-Mcl](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/running-multiple-instances-of-node-red-using-nssm/57127/2)

Alternatively, you could fire up node-red via [FlowForge](https://flowforge.com/docs/install/) where you will get a whole suite of tools to help you fire up 1 or more instances at the click of a button
