Newbie - Multiple containers from one image - 1st launch of program quits when 2nd container user launches same program

General

Situation. Small high school using Chromebooks. Have several students wanting to learn Python.

Proposed solution. Set up docker with an image running Pycharm Education version. Launch several containers port -p 5902:5901 for 1st container, -p 5903:5901 for 2nd container and so on for VNC access.

Issue, 1st user logs in and launches Pycharm all is good. 2nd user logs in and launches Pycharm, 1st user - Pycharm quits.

Question, is it possible to launch multiple containers to run multiple copies of the same program from a common image as described? If so, what should I be looking at?

Thanks for any advise you may have or pointing me to the solution that describes the setup I should be looking at.

Yeah, definitely. You should be able to docker run -d myimg all day long without issues (well, until your computer runs out of resources :slight_smile: ).

What do the docker logs for the container say?
