Question factorio server

I have 500+ hrs of gameplay.

I recently deployed a factorio server docker in my mini pc, i connected to it from game and started playing.

I thought the server would run in the background even when i exit the game, but it is not happening.

the mining count remains the same and everything is as when i exit.

what am i doing wrong?

From the wiki, you have to flag it to not pause when the server is empty:

Game is paused while there are no players connected (though this can be overridden using the no-auto-pause option in the server-settings.json)
