Setup Multiple ODM Nodes?

Have not looked into it much but is it possible to set up multiple nodes on the same hardware given enough resources available for concurrent tasks.

I have 32GB of memory and 16 threads were wondering if I could get a 2nd node going for faster renders so I can pump out a quick ortho and a draft test of a different project at the same time.

I tried adding a new Node in the WebODM Windows version but it seems it needs to actually be mounted somehow first and I have no idea where, to begin with adding a node to run locally that is not the pre-mounted node 1

I guess yes, they are just containers (nodeodm) and you need to start them with other ports instead of 3000 use 3001 or 3002:3000.
Then add them to nodes in webodm

Yes! You can also set your concurrency on each node, which is what I typically do these days (I ran multiple nodes for years).

Interesting…
That is exactly what I did on my first attempt.

I set the follow

Hostname: 127.0.0.1
Port: 29302 (1 digit higher than my Node1)
Name: node-odm-2

When I added it was showing up in red colour text and telling it could not connect to the node.

Ok… I tried that again and restarted the client this time and now WebODM is broken.
Exit Code 1

Now it is fully broken and the WebUI refuse to start.

How can I fix?
maybe I should just re-install?

Where is the database located perhaps I can remove the node manually from whatever database it is using.

EDIT
I just re-installed and created my presets again.

Please make sure you don’t use localhost, use the dockers virtual machine ip instead.

But I am not using Docker…
I am using the Windows Native Setup.

I don’t have a WebODM Manager I have the Windows WebODM, not the one that requires Docker to be running.
