Running 2 or more instances of Telligent Community on the same server
Former Member
Is it possible to run 2 or more instances of Telligent Community on one server? If so how would you configure the JobServer and Search for each instance to accommodate running on the same server.
Yes, both the job and search service install scripts have parameters to change when installing that allow you to set different service and service display names. For search you additionally need to have the service run on a different port (also configurable). Open [install package]\JobServer\Install.ps1 and [install package]\Search\bin\ServiceInstall.ps1 and these parameters are documented in comments within the file.
It's worth noting also that you'll want to ensure multiple bus instances are running well if you're not using the database message bus (which is not recommended).
Yes, the message bus service is a required component of the platform for many reasons, even if you only only have a single web node and job server node. That doesn't mean you need to use the Socket Message Bus server, but you need to use *some* message bus server. For the Socket Message Bus Server, when you install it, you can configure which port it runs on. And likewise in the connector plugin in Community, you can configure which port it connects on.
