Running multiple Content Deployer instances on a single machine

You can run multiple instances of Content Deployer side by side, either as Web application-based microservices or as standalone microservices. To do so, perform the installation multiple times, ensuring that you provide unique values in each case.

About this task

Content Deployers running as standalone microservices
The first Content Deployer you installed as a standalone microservice was created using the following default settings:
ParameterValue
nameSDLWebDeployerService
displayNameSDL Web Deployer Service
descriptionSDL Web Deployer Service
serverPort--server.port=8084

For any subsequent Content Deployer you want to install as a standalone microservice on the same machine, first edit the installation script you intend to use (installService.ps1, start.ps1 or start.sh) to give these parameters different, unique value. For the serverPort parameter, bear in mind that ports in the range 8081-8088 are all default ports for the various Content Delivery microservices and are therefore best avoided. After making these changes, follow the normal procedure for installing Content Deployer as a standalone microservice.

Content Deployers running as Java/JSP Web application-based microservices

You can install the Content Deployer multiple times in as many Java/JSP Web applications, which run independently of each other.
