ensured nodemon can run in the background cf. https://github.com/remy/nodemon/issues/296 — committed to complate/complate-sample-express by FND 7 years ago
use -I to let nohup work see https://github.com/remy/nodemon/issues/296 — committed to olore/bart-chalkboard by olore 4 years ago

Another possible solution:

nohup nodemon -I app.js

The -I switch prevents nodemon from attempting to use STDIN, which isn’t allowed under nohup as there’s no input stream.

I had same issue. Here is my work around Created a shell script exec.sh

cd source
nodemon app.js

Then execute the script with nohup

nohup exec.sh

i can put it to background, but after close ssh connection, nodemon stopped, because after connecet to ssh again i dont have any package on background
