Keep your real server safe

If a Ferry server runs on the machine, give the development server its own data directory, name prefix and ports.

Your usual server owns the containers with the prefix ferry.

The flags

Terminal

./target/debug/ferryd run \
  --data-dir ./dev-data \
  --name-prefix ferrydev \
  --api-addr 127.0.0.1:17878 \
  --proxy-addr 127.0.0.1:18080

Flag	The development server gets
`--data-dir ./dev-data`	Its own data directory
`--name-prefix ferrydev`	Its own name prefix for the Docker names
`--api-addr 127.0.0.1:17878`	Its own address for the API
`--proxy-addr 127.0.0.1:18080`	Its own address for the proxy

ferryd refuses to start on a prefix that another data directory owns. This protects the containers of the other server.

Multiple servers gives the full rules.

Deploy an example

Two variables point the CLI at your development server. Then you deploy an example app.

Branches and commits

A new feature starts from dev, on its own branch. Each commit message starts with the area that it changes.
