Profiles ======== Starting from EFB version 2, profiles are introduced to allow users in need to run multiple EFB instances simultaneously without affecting each other. Each profile has its own set of configuration files a set of channels that share the same code, but has different data files, so that they can run on their own. The default profile name is called ``default``. To switch to a different profile, specify the profile name in ``--profile`` flag while starting EFB. Start a new profile ------------------- To create a new profile, you need to create a directory in the :file:`{EFB_DATA_PATH}/profiles`, and create a new configuration file as described in chapter :doc:`getting-started`. When everything is configured properly, you are good to go.
