Run Chirpstack v3 and v4 in parallel, same VM, officel .deb packages

Viewed 56

Hi.

I would like to ask again a question I asked in the old forum. It didn't get any answer, perhaps because it was buried in a question with a wider scope.

Basically, (last time I checked) nothing in the official Debian packages prevents installing chirpstack v4 in parallel with chirpstack v3 (app and network) packages.

Assuming I use different virtual hosts, URLs and databases, is there any reason installing both on the same VM could fail? Like both versions erasing each other's files, or pointing to the same config files?

Is everything securely isolated, or may I run in all sorts of trouble if I do that?

Thanks.

There is no reason why this should not work, assuming they are using different databases and port-numbers (e.g. you can't have two processes binding to 8080 which ChirpStack uses by default).
