Run multiple identical fig environment on the same host

Imagine : 2 developers have an ssh access and can git clone a project with a fig.yml file. they clone the project with the same directory name ... therefore they can't launch the project 2 times to work independently on the source code.

The firt fig up will create the conatiners. OK. but the second will just recreate the same containers (not create another totally separate running instance of the project) ... how can I tackle this pb ?

Thanks !

Solution

  • You can use the -p, --project-name option to use a name of your choice instead of using the directory name.

    fig up -p my_unique_name

    It's still possible to have collisions if two developers choose the same name, you may want to establish naming conventions to avoid this.
