More than one Server on same Host

[vk_digi 1]

Hello,

 

i updated to Version 3.5.0 from the latest 3.4 version. i described in the past why i have more than one server running on same host on different ports and differen data-folder. So DO NOT TELL ME USE ONLY ONE SERVER!!!!

 

The host is running linux. When i start servers i get after the first one is running this error:

 

- Exiting because another instance is already running.

 

There is a file /tmp/.dotnet/shm/global/\{33f235d6052e5d7a6f3ee67b73136121\} that is checked. 

 

Questions:

- is there a commandline switch to stop checking for running other instance?

- Can i set this GUID via commandline?

- Why is this GUID the same even when the bin-dir is different for every server

- Why is /tmp FIX set to /tmp and the env $TEMP or $TMP not used? So i would be able to set different /tmp folder the get around this new silly check

- for the moment i only can remove the file before starting a new server instance.

Hi, unfortunately there's currently no workaround for this.

You could run separate VMs on the same machine...

The mutex is set by the install path. I would imagine you could all also put multiple unique installations on the same machine.

Hello,

In my posting i wrote this:

- Why is this GUID the same even when the bin-dir is different for every server

 

I tested it before asking with different dirs.

/var/lib/emby-server and /var/lib/emby-volker

but the mutex that was checked was the same for both :-(

 

What did i wrong? What is the "installation path"? not the emby-bin path?

by install path i mean the path to the main emby server executable.

Hello,

 

i tested it again. copy of /usr/lib/emby-server as /usr/lib/emby-volker works when 2 things are done:

 

a) do NOT only a ln -s /usr/lib/emby-server /usr/lib/emby-volker BUT do a real copy

edit the APP_DIR variable

 

result is this:

 

ls -l /tmp/.dotnet/shm/global

total 16
