07/26/2022, 9:04 PMHow do I run multiple commandbox servers from the same codebase(essentially the same box.json). The only way I can do it is to change the name in box.json to be unique.

07/26/2022, 9:10 PMooof, lots of env vars play a role in server.json

07/26/2022, 9:14 PMyou meant server.json in your original question correct, or did you mean box.json?

Scott Steinbeck
07/26/2022, 9:15 PMno you can have 1 box.json

07/26/2022, 9:15 PMthe server.json is what needs to be unique
d
Daniel Mejia
07/26/2022, 9:16 PMit is because name is an env var.
s
Scott Steinbeck
07/26/2022, 9:16 PMso you could have a branchfeature3-server.json

07/26/2022, 9:17 PMcommandbox will let you start 2 servers on the same codebase so long as the ‘server’ name is unique

Daniel Mejia
07/26/2022, 9:17 PMso technically I do have two unique server names because I"m using an env variable for the name in server.json.

07/26/2022, 9:20 PMUpdate: I was able to start the second server and the name is the correct value which is from the env variable. But
server infos

07/26/2022, 9:20 PMah, ok cool

Daniel Mejia
07/26/2022, 9:21 PMand bullet-train is also probably looking at box.json and giving me the name of the first server.

Scott Steinbeck
07/26/2022, 9:22 PMyeah, im sure its just calling the server info

07/26/2022, 9:23 PMThanks Scott. the other idea of using a unique server.json ie: branch3-server.json is not bad.

Scott Steinbeck
07/26/2022, 9:26 PMyes, i should mention i got the order wrong in the name it should be
server-{name}.jsond

07/26/2022, 9:26 PMok thanks. I'll try it.

07/26/2022, 10:44 PM@Scott Steinbeck deleting the name property in box.json does the trick.
Daniel Mejia
07/26/2022, 10:46 PMas long as appname in server.json is unique - which can be solved with an env variable.
