Two ferryd servers run on one machine. They share one Docker daemon.

1 / 4

More than one can share one . For example, run a server and a production server on the same machine. Or run a temporary server for tests next to your real server.

Problems with a custom domain

Most problems have one of two causes: the DNS, or port 80.

Run a second server

Give the second server its own data directory, name prefix, addresses and base domain.
