[Solved] Electron package with server dependency

Hey, I have created a package recently for an app which got updated and now it's not only C++ but it requires an electron GUI to function properly. Is there a similar package that I can get some ideas from? I guess the important thing would be to start the server before opening the gui app.

edit: hmm, I guess mattermost is one but then I will have to make a service and make sure that the user can start that service before the GUI. I will check for more

Re: [Solved] Electron package with server dependency

I decided to follow that route for now, in theory someone could only want to run the GUI and not the server.
