So now I'm running three instances of DHIS2 Live on different ports and can stop and start each one individually. My new problem now is how to distinguish between them: 1) Most importantly, I would like to see a different hover text for each DHIS Live icon (I now have three identical ones) 2)

dhis-live is not really designed to be run as a service and I wouldn't really recommend trying. Given that it has a user interaction element in the toolbar etc. Running as a service is sort of the opposite of its defining use case which is to have a minimally configured clickable app to run on a

Thanks guys, running multiple instances of DHIS2 Live is definitely the easiest to set up and teach. In fact, I think there may be quite few instances where Tomcat is needed on Windows. And I don't even think I need to worry about dhis2.home - since everything is confined to the folder where
