SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill allows you to run and manage multiple, isolated instances of Orient simultaneously on your local machine, preventing port conflicts and resource clashes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Isolated Environments: Each instance gets its own ports, databases, and Docker resources.
  • Worktree Support: Ideal for testing different feature branches in parallel without interference.
  • Conflict Resolution: Automatically handles port offsets and resource allocation.
  • Use Case: You're working on two different features in separate Git worktrees. Use this Skill to run both instances of Orient concurrently, each on its own set of ports, allowing you to test them independently.

Quick Start

Start a new Orient instance in a worktree, assigning it isolated resources.

Frequently Asked Questions about multi-instance-development

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run multiple isolated instances of the same application for parallel development?

Running multiple isolated instances for parallel development requires assigning each instance unique ports, databases, and Docker resources. This Skill manages that isolation automatically using environment variable configuration and Docker Compose templating to prevent resource clashes.

How do I prevent port conflicts when testing multiple feature branches in Git worktrees?

Preventing port conflicts across Git worktrees involves automatic port offset resolution and resource allocation. This Skill configures isolated ports and Docker resources for each worktree environment, allowing independent testing without interference.

Does Docker Compose support isolated parallel instances with separate databases?

Docker Compose supports isolated parallel instances with separate databases through environment variable configuration and templating. This Skill leverages Docker resources to automatically allocate unique ports and isolated database instances for each environment.

What's the best way to isolate Docker resources for concurrent testing environments?

Isolating Docker resources for concurrent testing environments requires dedicated port allocation and database separation per instance. This Skill handles conflict resolution automatically by managing environment variables and Docker Compose templates for safe parallel execution.

Why does running parallel instances cause resource clashes on my local machine?

Parallel instances cause resource clashes on local machines when ports and databases overlap without isolation. This Skill resolves these conflicts by assigning each parallel instance its own isolated ports and Docker resources.

Can I use environment variables to manage instance isolation for parallel testing?

Environment variables can manage instance isolation by configuring unique ports and databases for each parallel testing setup. This Skill uses environment variable configuration alongside Docker Compose templating to ensure complete worktree isolation.
