2+ different flarum installation on same server with Apache?

I successfully installed Flarum 0.16 on LAMP server with external MySQL server.
So I have Apache configured to fetch flarum from /var/www/html/flarum/ directory

What if I install more flarum instances for other forums on the same machine like this:
/var/www/html/flarum1/
/var/www/html/flarum2/
/var/www/html/flarum3/

and configure Apache to get relevant flarum based on domain name. Will it work?

I am trying to save cost while trying to make popular several forums so several forums running from the same machine wil make it much cheaper than if I need to start new Linux instance for a single flarum forum.

AFAIK, I think it should work. How many users do you expect across all forums? I fear you may run into RAM issues.

Thanks for confirmation! My forums are not popular at all now 🙂 This is normal as I am trying to gain popularity with them. So my single Linux server is not loaded at all so I can ad as many flarum forums as I want to it till one of them start being popular. Then I can detach it from that machine into separate Linux instance.

Not an issue at all, this is how shared hosting provider work too. Just make sure to configure your apache configuration so that the right domain points to the right folder.
