Che: How To Start many che instances on same machine

[achabahe]

Hi tyler ! how would i start a second instance of eclipse che , bitnami created an instance of eclipse che running in the cloud i need to start an other instance of eclipse che on that same VM , and assign to that instance a user and a password

@achabahe Can you please specify how you start Che? Using docker launcher?

[achabahe]

i actually don't use docker launcher to start it (i am just a beginner in this IDE) !! i use CLI to start and stop eclipse che instance
'sudo su eclipseche -- /opt/bitnami/apps/eclipseche/che/bin/che.sh -p:8080 -s:uid stop'
when I do that bitnami give me 503 error (Service Unavailable).
which means the eclipse che has shutdown and bitnami can't find an eclipse che instance listening on port 8080 but when i do start an eclipse che instance using command
"sudo su eclipseche -- /opt/bitnami/apps/eclipseche/che/bin/che.sh -p:9090 -s:uid stop"
which should start an instance of eclipse che instance on port 9090 it doesn't start (i use netstat to check if port 9090 is on listening)

forgive my mistakes if i have some miss consumption , i am still a beginner !!!

@achabahe Can you try to execute run command, not start, e.g. sudo su eclipseche -- /opt/bitnami/apps/eclipseche/che/bin/che.sh -p:9090 -s:uid run, and send us logs?

The log says that port 32001 is already in use. Your second instance is trying to deploy some rmi package that must be already deployed in your first instance. I don't believe this is a Che issue but it is an issue with how bitnami repackages Che. I am not sure that bitnami ever intended their vm to allow for more than one server at a time. I think they want you and need you to create separate vm.

[achabahe]

probably that is what they want me to do !! i might deploy docker container of bitnami eclipse che in my VM that would solve partialy my problem but i can't find a docker container of bitnami eclipse che do you know how i can find it !!! they this link should take me to it but it does not work broken link to eclipse che docker container
and this is the page that gave me that link

You would need to talk to bitnami about what they can provide for you. The Che project provides certified Docker images - we recommend that you use the che-launcher image; https://eclipse-che.readme.io/v5.0/docs/usage-docker
