Multiple Printers on the same Raspberry Pi

Is this possible? I know with Octoprint, I could have 4 machines on the same Raspberry pie, it just added a port at the end of the IP for each printer. Ex, 10.10.10.10:5001, 10.10.10.10:5002, etc.  

Is this possible with Prusalink?  When I plug in multiple printers, I get https error 5xx as it seems like all printers are trying to point to the same IP.

Hi, there is a multi instance image just for this scenario. It's a bit clunky but it should auto detect printers and start their PrusaLinks

RE:

Thank you. That worked perfectly for a couple of days. This morning I woke up and when I opened my browser I had a message that PrusaLink had updated and that I needed to refresh. When I did all 4 of my printers show the same message on there. Something along the lines of “this printer does not support this functionality” and I can not start prints on them. They are online and marked as idle, but grayed out when I go to start a print. Any help would be much appreciated!

Try rebooting the pi, just unplug it, wait a bit and re-plug
