Can I have multiple local juju environments?

Question

Is it possible to run two local juju environments? I sometimes like to kick off a long-running deploy, but I'd still like to work while that one is churning.

Right now, I get:

dpb@helo:hooks$ juju bootstrap -v
ERROR cannot use 37017 as state port, already in use

Do I need to run another mongodb and change a setting somewhere?

Answer 1

Tuned my google search enough: https://github.com/juju/docs/issues/35

Pulled out here for reference:

# Alternate Local Environment
# Must be different than defaults:
#    - storage-port: 8040
#    - state-port: 37017
#    - api-port: 17071
local-alt:
    type: local
    storage-port: 8041
    state-port: 37018
    api-port: 17071

Answer 2

You can run multiple environments by adding a new entry into the environments.yaml file and then running juju bootstrap -e myenv.
