serial-port-json-server as a service in windows

[ciro-maciel]

Hi @chilipeppr, nice your project, greatly simplifies the process of communication!

I'm thinking of using serial-port-json-server as a Windows/Linux/Mac OS as a service, you figure out what the best way to do it?

I started the tests in Windows, the service arrives until the serial-port-json-server process is started, but after a while I get the message:

the service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion

And the process is closed.

Thank you

Ciro

Sorry for the inconvenience @chilipeppr,

I studied it. The best way and use the [NSSM] (https://nssm.cc/) in line command to create the service. Everything is running, okay!

Thank you.

Cool. Anyway to post a binary or installer so I can share with all other users?

Did you solve this? I need an installer for the exe file and install it as a service.
