I’m using nc -l to create a listener socket, but then it just.....listens.....and I can’t issue any further commands.
How do I put it in the background so I can maintain the listener and keep issuing commands in the CLI? I'm using Ubuntu Server 18.04.

Put and ampersand (&) at the end of the command.
$ nc -l 8080 &
It might be better to open another terminal window though, and keep your listener in the foreground.
