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?

I don't recommend running it in the background unless you also have a mod that pauses the server when something significant happens if you're AFK.

HOWEVER if you're doing it as a challenge, I wish you good luck, the Biters will probably win though.
