Zeronet: [Question] Can run more than one ZeroNet instance?

[DaniellMesquita]

[imachug]

It can if you set different data folders and port (via CLI arguments).

[DaniellMesquita]

What are those CLI args to set different port?
Regarding data folder, it isn't needed, since run it from different ZeroNet installations.

[imachug]

--uiserver_port=1234

[DaniellMesquita]

But isn't uiserver to make it accessible via LAN?

[imachug]

No, it's fileserver.

[DaniellMesquita]

What port you recommend, that is less probably to be used?

[imachug]

7832.

Do we need a kind of the duplicate of the Zeronet directories, or just execute the same zeronet.py?

[DaniellMesquita]

I'm asking this because I'll create a app framework for ZeroNet based on Electron/Cordova, for dedicated apps (replacing ZeroHello to the app zite, and only storing ID providers.

[blurHY]

It just needs different ui-server and file-server port

[leftside2]

@blurHY , Any possibility to have different tor IP address for each instance??

[leftside2]

My main process : $ ./ZeroNet.sh --tor always --tor_controller 127.0.0.1:9151;
error msg: None.

Additional instance : $ ./ZeroNet.sh --ui_port=8090;
error msg: Can't open lock file, your ZeroNet client is probably already running, exiting... ([Errno 11] Resource temporarily unavailable)

[blurHY]

You need two zeronet folders

[leftside2]

@blurHY , that's the answer what I wanted! :100:

[HelloZeroNet]

You can, but you need to specify unique values for data_dir, log_dir, fileserver_port, uiserver_port

[DaniellMesquita]

Why need to specify data_dir, log_dir, if ZeroNet instance could detect from which folder it is running?

[DaniellMesquita]

Also, when detecting that another instance is running, run fileserver/uiserver ports with increased number.

[HelloZeroNet]

Changing data_dir and log_dir is only necessary if you try to run it from the same directory (using the same binary). I think silently running it on different port would be a bad idea as most of the users don't want to run multiple instances.
