Run a second install

Run a separate Dobby beside your real one, for a trial or another account, without the two sharing projects, pauses or jobs.

  1. Point the second install at its own folders.

    Terminal
    export DOBBY_CONFIG=~/dobby-test/config/config.json
    export DOBBY_DIR=~/dobby-test/data

  2. Set it up without background jobs.

    Terminal
    dobby init --no-jobs

  3. Run it in a terminal.

    Terminal
    dobby start

Skip the jobs. Job names are per user, so a second set would replace your real install's jobs.

Keep both variables set in every shell where you use the second install. To remove it, see Uninstall.
