One site per stack?

thomascharbit

Hi,

IndigoStack looks very promising, I would be happy to ditch Valet+ for this!
First thing i wondered when i launched the app, is it ok to create a separate stack for each website i have locally?
Or should i create a stack with a given PHP version and have all my websites on this stack (if they share the same PHP requirements)

Thanks!

Hi @thomascharbit — thanks for trying out Indigo!

Both approaches you described will work fine. You can certainly create one stack per site, or equally, put them all into one stack if they share similar infrastructure. I personally have complicated infrastructure but few sites, so I have a lot in one stack. It's nice being able to turn that all on with one click too.

However if you have many different sites which don't really relate to each other, and you'd prefer to work on them one-at-a-time, a single stack per site makes sense.

I've wondered whether it would help to have a quick explanation somewhere in the process of the app's first launch about this? I'm not entirely sure where it would go though. Any thoughts?

Thanks!
I will go with one stack per site.

I read the FAQ before asking here so maybe if you explain this in the FAQ when you takl about the stack concept it should be fine?

Sounds good, I've noted that down for when I'm working on the docs.
