If you run rails s --help You will see a bunch of options

Usage: rails server [mongrel, thin etc] [options]
    -p, --port=port                  Runs Rails on the specified port.
                                     Default: 3000
    -b, --binding=IP                 Binds Rails to the specified IP.
                                     Default: localhost
    -c, --config=file                Uses a custom rackup configuration.
    -d, --daemon                     Runs server as a Daemon.
    -u, --debugger                   Enables the debugger.
    -e, --environment=name           Specifies the environment to run this server under (test/development/production).
                                     Default: development
    -P, --pid=pid                    Specifies the PID file.
                                     Default: tmp/pids/server.pid

    -h, --help                       Shows this help message.

The one that you need is to run it as a Daemon. Hence, the solution is: rails s -d
