Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Multiple instances of the same server but with different credentials cant be created at the moment.

Describe the solution you'd like
Allow same server address with different user credentials. My girlfriend and me are using the same device to manage our documents. Maybe just add a „Name“ for the to-be-created instance and everything is fine?

Describe alternatives you've considered

Hi Maximilian,

thanks for the suggestion. This is actually something I could use myself for the test instances I run.
Will definitely put this on my to-do list!

I've started working on this, but my "bolted-on" implementation of multi instance support makes it a bit harder than I anticipated.

It's still planned, but might take a bit longer than I expected.

Hi. Maybe this is a good context for another feature.
It would be nice to "log out" from a url. For instance I want to login with another user on the same sever.

That's definitely something I should add. Switching server if you have only a single instance is kind of a pita right now.

As a workaround you could add the same instance twice.
If the first instance is
domain.com
the second one should be
www.domain.com

@LeoKlaus
Mentioned that technically, this solution is somewhat inefficient in that all attributes and shared documents are stored twice, but realistically, the impact this has on the storage footprint should be fairly small.
