One application, multiple instances

[nicelol]

I'm running TrueNAS Scale and I'd like to be able to run multiple instances of the same application chart. I don't know whether instances is the right word here because I'm not talking about horizontal scaling, but rather different configurations.

My use case is: I'm using the icloudpd application from TrueCharts to back up my iCloud photos. I'd like to be able to the do same thing for my partner. However, if I try to add the icloudpd application again with different configuration, I get this error:

Code:

[EEXIST] Chart release with icloudpd already exists.

That's not surprising but I wonder if this use case is supported, multiple configurations of the same chart/application in TrueNAS scale?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

AFAIK you should be able to run multiple instances of the same application, but you'd need to give them different names. But that being an Incubator app, it's expected to be buggy.

I have done this. You just need to rename the new instance of the App.
