Multiple Applications on one server

Is it possible to deploy multiple applications to the same server?

We deploy hundreds of low traffic, short lived web applications per year and we are looking to automate this process where we can.

Hi Max,

Yes, Octopus is designed for this. You can have many projects with many steps (applications) all deploying to a single or many servers.

If I can elaborate on Max’s question further, is it possible to deploy multiple applications to the same server simultaneously? If not now, will it be possible in v2.0?

Hi,

Tentacle has a queue, so it can only be performing one ‘job’ (deploying a package) at once - so you can’t deploy two packages at the exact same time. We do this so that one package doesn’t accidentally modify state needed by another package.

However, you can deploy application 1, and then application 2, to the same machine, and both applications will co-exist side-by-side without a problem.

Hope that clarifies things,

Paul
