November 20, 20187 yr Hi Folks, I'm wondering if is possible to install the same Application twice, using different {ports, paths, configs}. I'm using the "Community Applications" and there is no option of "Install". Just "Reinstall". How to do it? Is it possible? Thanks in advance Eduardo Edited November 21, 20187 yr by EDalcin
November 20, 20187 yr Why would you want to do this? There's a specific way to configure a container if you want to run it like there would be two instances of it. However it's better to run just one with a custom config. What's your use case?

Thanks in advance Eduardo Yes, you can do this but during the install you need to give at least one it a new name (as well as different config options). I do it with two MyMediaForAlexa containers because I want one to handle Music and the other AudioBooks.
November 20, 20187 yr Community Expert There are many perfectly good reasons to run multiple of the same dockers, and that is part of the great flexibility Docker affords us. I have had to duplicate a docker recently for a mariadb docker because one application I'm installing only works with a older maridb versions. This is how I set it up only recently, the instance you create below is your new instance.

Many cases. For example, have two different game servers (McMyAdmin app) at the same machine.
April 9, 20215 yr I'm not finding the "reinstall using defaults" icon on the Apps->Installed apps page. What am I missing.

April 9, 20215 yr Assuming it has been removed, then i guess the only option is to manually setup the extra docker instance?
April 10, 20215 yr Nevermind. i figured it out. In the Apps screen just click "add container" and point to the same repository for the app you want to duplicate, then follow tjb_altf4's instructions above.

The option now needs to be enabled in CA settings to be visible, however using the "Add container" button on the docker screen is actually an easier method (that I later discovered).
November 24, 20214 yr hey!! im still very new to unraid, im looking to do multiple instances of handbrake. im having trouble getting them to cooporate!! can you guys walk me through how to set things up?? ive got as far as getting them installed in seperate dockers, but i think the port settings are the problem.....i dont know what/how to change them to. any help would be fantastic!! chris
December 27, 20214 yr Can I have two copied of a docker container (SABNZB)? On one I was thinking of downloading to RAM (only one file at a time) and the other to the array if i am downloading more than one file (which would cause the RAM to fill up)? If possible could a person just shutdown one docker, abd then start up the other docker? All I could think of is just having each docker with a different name Rod
December 27, 20214 yr Yeah, Apps - Settings - Enable install 2nd Instance Apps - Installed Apps, Sabnzbd - Actions - Install 2nd Instance
April 28, 20242 yr @Squid the 2nd instance works great and installs fine a 2nd docker container. I configure DIFFERENT ports for this 2nd container and i have proper web-ui access in the manually configured port (8081) BUT I keep seeing the SAME PORTS as container-1 under the docker allocations... Why so? Edited April 28, 20242 yr by G3orgios Added dockers screenshot
