Can run multiple instances on the same network?

[miguelmateojp]

I am just configuring three internet-pi before I move them to the final destination. On the second and third device, I always get this error:

fatal: [127.0.0.1]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Error connecting: Error while fetching server API version: ('Connection aborted.', PermissionError(13, 'Permission denied'))"}

Rebooting and trying again does not solve the problem. Can we have multiple devices on the same network (for installation/configuration only)?

My apologies for the delay! From what I have experimented with, you can absolutely run multiple instances (on multiple Pi's); The change you would need to do is updating the IP addresses for each instance you wanted to run.

In my use case, I have a redundant pair of Pi-Hole instances, but only one instance of Grafana (I'm not particularly worried about redundancy of the Grafana graphs/data compared to the ad-blocking). The only changes I did on the second host was a docker-compose down -v for the entire directory of internet-monitoring (Grafana, blackbox and prometheus). This in turn allows you to run a second instance of Pi-Hole and you can update your DNS entries to point to both (or even all three) instances.
