Containers and domain

[juan-manuel-alberro]

Can I run two containers at the same time and access it using a URL? By default, it uses wocker.dev but I want to create another container that runs into let says mysite.dev.
Is that possible?
Thanks.

Sorry for the late reply.

I have to say it's not available basically. However, if you are familiar with Docker, it's possible to do it, but it will be no longer Wocker.

I created a patch to run multiple wocker containers at the same time.
https://github.com/ailispaw/wocker/tree/wocker-multi

If you run the wocker VM on _Mac OSX_ and installed _vagrant-triggers_ plugin, you can access http://wocker.wocker.dev instead of http://wocker.dev as below.
And you can create another wocker container as you want.

$ vagrant destroy -f # If you have already created the wocker VM.
$ vagrant up         # You may ask your password to setup DNS resolver and routing on Mac OSX.
$ open http://wocker.wocker.dev
$ vagrant ssh -c 'wocker-multi <name>'
$ open http://<name>.wocker.dev

It may take some time to refresh DNS cache on the local.

@ailispaw
This is amazing!
However, some Wocker commands will not work.
I will consider this feature on the next major version.

@ixkaito Yeah, I'm concerned about Windows, too.
We need contributors for that.
