What is the simplest way to run a go server in the background? I currently have the server running in CMD and would rather not change the actual code.

I'd use a screen. Assuming Ubuntu 18.04:
sudo apt-get install screen
Then
screen
Then
go run main.go
Use Ctrl + A + D to get out of the screen. To return to it:
screen -r

If using a Linux based system `systemd-run` can start transient units: `systemd-run --user go run main.go`. But I suppose he uses Windows (`CMD`) – Jürgen Hötzel Jun 21 '18 at 16:19
