Multi-instance
Multi-instance is application capacity to be installed several times.
Scripts
When YunoHost installs the application a second time, it gives to the script, at last argument, ${id}__2 with the application ${id} coming from the manifest. The value n in ${id}__n is incremented each time a new instance of the application is installed.
E.g. in the roundcube script, database is called roundcube, the install directory roundcube and the Nginx configuration roundcube. This way, the second instance of roundcube will not conflict with the first one, and will be installed in the roundcube__2 database, in the roundcube__2directory, and with the roundcube__2 Nginx configuration.
Retrieve last variable given to scripts:
APP=${!#}
Manifest
Set multi_instance variable to true in the manifest:
"multi_instance": true,
