Option 1: Running multiple gateway services within the same machine

Attempted setup

gateway services started with unspecified port (random port number)

cmsd service listening on localhost

running on VM

Result

functional tests fail - possibly due to using a VM setup. cmsd didn’t detect gateways or incoming transfers

Observations

setting up in practice, each service needs its own config file and needs manual/scripted intervention to add or remove services. Random port assignment is not recommended, manual port assignment can be a bit iffy.
cmsd gets confused when nodes are on the same ip address/dns

Option 2: setting up a docker/kubernetes container cluster
