Two instances

[Lockzi]

Hey,

I have two robots, I've configured ICantBeliveItsNotValetudo for the secondary instance to run on port 3001, but I believe that the robot has problems with connecting to it?

Anyone else running two instances for two robots?
How did you configure it?

Did you solve this?

Nope, got occupied by firmware reset...

Any tips would be helpful!

I'm also wondering about this, but since I just got started with HA, I'll focus on the things that work out of the box.

I suppose we could run two instances of this on the same host with minor changes. Then we can use the different config in two different lovelace cards.

It would be nice if we could simply specify a wildcard within the configuration (ie prefix/+/map_data) but the application does not understand how to handle it. Additionally, the processed map location is hardcoded to /api/map/image.

Eh, you could run two docker containers and duplicate the entire thing. ;)

This. Just map it into a different port with docker and configure a separate MQTT topic for both the second robot and the second instance of ICBINV

sorry, Noob question: I see, there is a Dockerfile in the repository. Is there also an instruction how to do this? there is no Docker know-how on my side :-(
currently i am running it with nohup npm start &

Solved by myself. but even though i used nearly the same configs only the mqtt name (valetudo/xxx) differs, only the icbinv for the v5 sends a map. the instance for the v1 seems not to work (it get's the raw data from mosquitto but isn't publishing anything)

This is the working instance (v5):
2020-07-11T16:25:20: Received PUBLISH from wischwisch (d0, q0, r1, m0, 'valetudo/wischwisch/map_data', ...

And this instance don't work (v1):
