Keep the flows running after closing the web browser

General

Hi, can anyone tell whether it is possible to keep the flows running on the background after closing the web browser ? In my case, whenever I close chrome window node-red flows stop. Is there anyway to do that ? Same question for the command prompt where node-red command is running.
Thanks in advance.

That is not how Node RED works, all flows are running server side, they do not require a Web Browser, the browser is used to only edit the flows - Node RED, won't be Node RED otherwise, unless you are using Nodes that are poorly developed?

We need to see an example

Node RED is a Node application, so if you need to run it in a non-interactive shell (as it normally should be), use something like systemd

See:
https://nodered.org/docs/faq/starting-node-red-on-boot

systemd example

EDIT
I should mention, I refer to systemd but for something like windows, NSSM is used

What OS and hardware are you running on? How do you start node red running?
