Short answer: You can't because GZDoom doesn't work that way.
Longer answer: GZDoom's net code does not have a concept of "servers." Everybody is a peer. There is an arbitrator, but only in the sense that whoever entered the "host" command is in charge of changing maps, server cvars, etc. Because GZDoom requires you to have all players present that will be in the game
at the time the game starts, and there is no in-game joining, running a 24/7 server would in fact require all players to leave the game running indefinitely.
You will probably want
Zandronum instead.
