[Feature Request]: Run multiple projects at the same time

[sakgoyal]

Is it possible to allow running multiple projects together on the same instance?
it seems like im getting rate limited "Tracker rate limiting is active".

but I dont want to switch projects manually to get one that isn't overloaded.
Can the settings allow multiple to run together or do I need to run multiple instances

At the moment you do need multiple instances unfortunately.

If you're looking to run a bunch of projects in bulk, you might find the project-specific containers useful. They don't have the web UI, but they're easier to orchestrate and take up less resources.

See ArchiveTeam/seesaw-kit#50 and other related issues. seesaw-kit was not designed with this in mind so it's not that easy to implement.

The VM could be modified (with relatively less effort) to run multiple instances of seesaw, but it's not clear if there's a big enough demand for that yet.

is there a way I can run this without docker? I want to run it natively on my machine. that way I can scale it up myself without the complexity of managing docker instances and port forwarding

No, running the contents of the VM or Docker container as a native code/scripts is not easy as it might seem and it is not allowed. We used to have things running things natively in the past (a decade ago), but this led people to misconfigure the environment or tamper with the code which produced garbage archives.

If you don't want to deal with Docker, you could run multiple instances of the VM. If you just want to run it on a home desktop, running two or three VMs and manually configuring them in the UI is perfectly fine. If you mean scale up as in using servers, Docker is probably the best way to go as the VM is not really meant for that.
