In the above instructions it’s not clear what “InstanceName” refers to :
##Config##
$instance = “InstanceName” #Name of the Instance.
$oldHome = “C:\Octopus\InstanceName” #Current home of the instance.
$newHome = “C:\NewHome\InstanceName” #New home path for the instance.
$appFolder = “Applications” #Name of the folder being used for applications.
Currently on my app/web server I have tentacle on my C drive :
C:\Octopus\Applications\MyApp1
C:\Octopus\Applications\MyApp2
…
I want to move to D drive :
D:\Octopus\Applications\MyApp1
D:\Octopus\Applications\MyApp2
What should InstanceName be set to ?
Hi @jgrandydev,
Thanks for getting in touch! I’m sorry about the confusion here, and I’ve updated that doc page to hopefully provide more clarity on the instance name. I appreciate the input on how to improve our docs.
Instances are a way to separate multiple copies of Tentacle running on the same machine. If you’re running a single instance of Tentacle, the default name of that instance is Tentacle
. If you’re unsure of the instance name, you can run the following Tentacle.exe command to list all instances on that machine: Tentacle.exe list-instances
.
I hope that helps! Let me know how you go or if you have any questions or concerns moving forward.
Best regards,
Kenny
