Multiple instances or token-based selection? #538

Closed per-samuelsson closed 2 years ago

per-samuelsson commented 2 years ago

To proxy for more backends than one, what are pros/cons using token-based selection of backend vs running multiple instances of websockify? Resource-usage?

CendioOssman commented 2 years ago

I don't think that was a concern. It was more about having a single port/service handling multiple users. Some tokens are also based on external authentication.

So if all you want is easy access to multiple sessions, then feel free to deploy whatever works best for you.
