Multi Concurrent Running Localnet #12

Closed FrankC01 closed 6 months ago

Provide ability to have multiple-instances of localnet running

mario4tier commented 6 months ago

Summary

I recommend to use multiple VM, one per localnet.

Details

Now that we have more experience... I end up running 3x localnet simultaneously using VM (MacOS VM + Windows 11/WSL2 VM + Linux Ubuntu host).

This is working well, particularly when the VM uses the precompiled Sui binaries (Suibase fully installed in <2 minutes and no need for a lot of assigned vCPU).

I think this is a good workaround versus having Suibase deal with all sort of conflicts (particularly, managements of "ports" for the local process).

I found the user experience also good (just click on the VM window... there is nothing needed on the CLI for the user to "switch" from one "localnet" to another).
