Hi
I have a setup where 2 ST instances run in a single machine. The first instance runs as a always-on hub for various shares with friends/family, non critical, so I let it triggered to my own login. Let’s call this machine the server.
The second instance runs OK for my wife (first idea was kind of backup… I known, ST isn’t…!), but she seldom opens a session on this machine. So I figure running her instance as a user service. I didn’t yet set this ATM. Her GUI it set at 127.0.0.1:7374, listens on tcp://:myOwnSpecialTcpListenPort+1, I’m 99% sure these two are OK.
But I also set her “Local Announce Port” to 21028 (because I thought it must be different from my own instance 21027 default) and today reading the official doc I read this UDP port is used for both send and receive local discovery.
On her laptop ST configuration she has as “Other devices” among others the ID of her instance in the server, and remote friends, all listening/speaking over 21027.
At the time of start writing I thought I’d ask an advise if I also had to change “Local Announce MC Addr” from [ff12::8384]:21027 to [ff12::8384]:21028 for her because I don’t know anything about IPv6. Now I begin to guess the only solution is to give up the idea to have 2 instances of ST in a single machine working at best because 2 different UDP ports make like 2 jails that can’t see each other and using the same will make collisions or errors.
Please confirm, is the single solution is setting my wife backup shared folder into my own account?
