Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/asapach/peerflix-server/issues/127

I want to run multiple instances of peerflix-server with it's own config file (ie, peerflix-server -config2.json)
More specifically in regards to storing downloaded torrents location.

Is it possible?

I think you can run multiple instances if you specify a different HOME env for each one:

HOME=/tmp/1 peerflix-server
HOME=/tmp/2 peerflix-server

And something similar using USERPROFILE env on Windows.

I've also confirmed this working with multiple unix users. Peerflix-server searches ~/.config/peerflix-server for the configuration files. So a new user is able to spawn its own instance by specifying a new port;

user1@host ~ # PORT=9000 peerflix-server &
user1@host ~ # su user2
user2@host ~ # PORT=9001 peerflix-server &
