Is it possible to run more than one instance of the assistant in an account?
A particular example is that I might have two annexes:
- for my music, and
- for some personal documents.
I would like to have my music annex paired with my work laptop and have all the automagical power of git-annex-assistant working for me. However I don't want to put my personal documents on a work machine, hence the second annex.
(I think) An ideal world would have the assistant managing both annexes. Is this possible?
I know my question is similar to one annex versus many annexes? but I think it is different enough to warrant a new thread...
I was trying to add a second annex (repository) via the webapp, but it seems like the process never completes: the browser just spins ("connecting..."). If I kill the webapp process and restart, I can see the second annex in the list of repositories, but clicking on it gives the same behaviour. Interestingly, the path is added to ~/.config/git-annex/autostart, and the webapp does create the path, if needed, and initializes it as a git annex. I've reproduced this on two different machines, both running Ubuntu 12.10 and git annex 3.20121112.
Is there anything I can do to help debug?
git annex webapp --debugto get debugging information on the new one.
