Multiple Instances confusion

[RedBear311]

Good morning all, 

I am looking to run 2 instances on one Server PC. I have followed the attached routine up to the point of setting up the autoexec.cfg and the serversettings.lua . It appears to completely skip the part about setting up multiple port forwards and how you connect the webguis to multiple instances. 

If anyone can guide me I'd be eternally grateful. Ideally someone who can spend a little bit of time on Discord and talk me through the process. I have fairly good understanding of hardware, software and networking. But clearly not enough to make heads no tails of this. 

 

Thanks in advance

You can't use easily the local webgui from other machine, it will run just on the DCS Server host, according to the webgui port that you have to setup manually (and different for each instances of course) in the autoexec.cfg file. The process are explained in the document that you've attached here, with the following note:
 

webgui_port=****

webgui_port=**** the *** will be replaced with the WebGUI port for the instance

Thank you. I think I've figured it from there. I set up seperate server accounts on DCS and login via the website and use the My Servers page as you can access the GUI from there. But I will try it locally as that's more useful to me. 

 

Kind regards
