Running multiple instances of Stash can be done by specifying both the -c switch to denote an alternate config.yml file path, and the --p switch to denote a unique port number.

Step-by-step Linux guide to running multiple instances of Stash:

  1. Create a new directory for the alternate Stash configuration, referred to here as NEW_DIRECTORY_LOCATION.
  2. Choose a unique port number that does not conflict with other local Stash instances, referred to here as NEW_PORT_NUMBER.
  3. Initiate Stash to assume a fresh installation by running ./stash-linux --port NEW_PORT_NUMBER -c NEW_DIRECTORY_LOCATION/config.yml.
  4. Complete the Stash Setup Wizard.
  5. Using a text editor, manually update config.yml to use NEW_PORT_NUMBER. Find the line port: 9999 and replace with port: NEW_PORT_NUMBER.
  6. This instance of Stash can now be accessed by running ./stash-linux -c NEW_DIRECTORY_LOCATION/config.yml
