Hello everyone. I want to try to install two or more Dataverse on the same server. I have a question, what do I have to configure to do it? The installer script? Something in Payara?
Thank you for your help
Do you mean more than one Payara server? Like this? https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.2/installation/advanced.html#multiple-app-servers . For the same Dataverse installation? There's a diagram here: https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.2/installation/prep.html#advanced-installation
Or do you mean two of everything? Two Postgres, two Solr, two Payara. For two completely separate Dataverse installations.
Hi @Philip Durbin thanks for asking. I mean two dataverse instances on the same Payara, same Postgres (obviously each instance with its own database), same solr.
I think it is more like this https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.2/installation/advanced.html#multiple-app-servers
I see. I don't think we've documented very well how to do it. :thinking:
@Santiago Florez please feel free to create an issue: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues
Actually, wait. Two Dataverse instances on the same Payara... I don't think we can easily support this. We deploy the war file to the root context.
The "multiple app servers" link above is for load balancing and redundancy so that a single Payara instance is not a single point of failure.
This is probably related: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/7499
Sure.
