Hi Ilma,
It's indeed possible. This is what we do in demos where stable (24.09) and trunk are running side by side. It's now done with Docker but for a long
time was simple sh scripts.
You need to use different directories and DBs for each OFBiz instance.And to
set their ports using portOffset. Have a look at:
https://nightlies.apache.org/ofbiz/trunk/readme/html5/README.html#example-ofbiz-server-tasks
For instance using --portoffset 10000 mean that the backend port is actually
10000+8443=10000+8443
There is no conflict between each OFBiz instance

Hello OFBiz Community,
I would like to know if it is possible to run multiple versions of Apache
OFBiz on the same system.
Specifically, I am interested in running OFBiz *18.12.19* alongside the
*24.09.05*. on a single server. The goal is to maintain an existing
implementation while evaluating or migrating to the newer version.
Could you please advise on:
-
Whether this setup is supported or commonly used
-
Any known limitations or conflicts (such as ports, database
configuration, or directory structure)
-
Best practices or recommended approaches for such a setup
Any guidance or references to documentation would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and support.
Best regards,
Ilma Masroor
