Hello, good afternoon, I have recently installed the Whoogle search engine following this video tutorial https://youtu.be/BuLREHRKyag however, when I close the Ubuntu app I can't access the whoogle search engine, does anyone know how I can run the process in the background even though I have closed the Ubuntu app?

The process I want to run in the background: cd whoogle-search
./run
Before I forgot to mention it, the operating system I use is Windows 11 Pro

Hi, sorry for the late reply! In this case, it sounds like you have to keep Ubuntu/WSL open in the background for the Whoogle to continue running (see: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1435938/is-it-possible-to-run-a-wsl-app-in-the-background). I don't use Windows personally, so I can't look into this any further on my end, unfortunately.
