New instance for wordpress app

Hello everyone, I had to restore wordpress app, the procedure worked perfectly. I saw that there is a new wordpress2 instance. Sorry for the trivial question, why does the ns8 system rename the app as instance2?

This is not an official answer, so I could be wrong.

  • Easier to always increment than to control old/new/restored numbering.
  • Progressive numbering avoids collisions with old instances/usernames/leftovers.
  • Easier to read than a module_UUID.
  • The instance name (on rootless instances) is also related to a Unix user and /home folder. With progressive numbering it’s less probable to cause collision (when removing an app, if all goes well everything is deleted, or almost everything, if something fails: leftovers…). User isolation.

Think of it like a key index on a db.

Although…

IIRC only the UUID of the module is preserved when you restore by keeping the old module

think to enable again the backupon the new module ID
