Overmind tmux session is not listed in general tmux session list #79

Closed sevenmaxis closed 4 years ago

sevenmaxis commented 4 years ago

I have multiple tmux sessions. I detach from them and start overmind in daemon mode. The command tmux ls doesn't show the overmind's session, I have to connect to it via tmux socket, which is not convenient.

I came across this same situation. Overmind doesn't get listed when I do tmux ls. This is not an issue for me, but I'm curious if anyone knows why this is the case.

I believe that it was made on purpose to discourage people from tinkering with overmind's tmux session on the first place. Please don't touch overmind's tmux.

Also as a bonus it additionally isolates tmux sessions of different overmind sessions from each other (and user sessions) reducing risk of messing things up in case of a bug.

Overmind launches a separate Tmux server on its own socket.

A session created in the existing Tmux server will have environment variables defined as they were defined at the start of the server. Launching a new server allows to pick up up-to-date env variables.
