Hi all ,

How do i setup a 2nd cluster on my local machine , assuming 1 cluster is already learning ?

Usually using something like docker containers to keep them separate.

You can still use docker for that.

Otherwise you will need to manage the port numbers yourself, as you configure each node to talk to each other.
