Some issues about distribution

Hello, can I ask if the photo server can allow multiple instances to run on one machine, and can server to server communication be realized between multiple servers? Where can I check the relevant documents about the questions I asked?

And I want to know whether the start and stop of an instance can be controlled by programming

hi, @dsifgh
you may either start two photons or inside one photon start many applications. we usually do it last way. Those applications can communicate using s2s communication. here is the docs: https://doc.photonengine.com/en-US/server/current/app-framework/server-to-server-introduction/

and NO, it is not possible to start/stop apps from within photon application. What you could do, is somehow switch modes/states of the server. In one state server accepts peers in another does not
