How to run multiple docker images?

[Micaiah12]

I posted this on reddit as well.

Basically, I would like to run two docker images on different ports. Say like two plex servers on one machine or two cloud9 IDE instances. How can I do that? 

 

Thanks

Just map them to different appdata folders, different host ports and call them different names.  Pretty sure Plex won't work though as iirc it's fairly picky about ports etc.

You can assign Dockers their own IP addresses, which will allow you to run 2 Plex servers at the same time.  See link below.  I set this up this past weekend and now have 2 Plex server Dockers running at the same time.

It doesn't work on me anymore.

If I edit a container via Edit, rename it and also enter other settings, the existing container is only changed but no new container is created.

That is expected.

You need to create a new container and choose an existing template. Next rename the new container and change settings.

 

For example I have six Pihole containers running (each network has its own DNS server). They all have a unique name and settings folder.

This is going to sound stupid, but how did you change the setting folder for the new container?

 

I've got so far as going into the Docker tab, adding a new container, selecting a template from the list of user templates (in my case I'm selecting the Nginx container I already have) and setting the name to something different.

 

I can't see a setting in either basic or advanced that lets me specify the appdata folder name.

I thought it might be based on the name I enter for the container, but it just uses the appdata folder from the template I selected.

 

Edit: 

Was stupid, found it under the "Show more settings" bit...
