Run Prodigy in Multiple Ports

[ta13]

I want to run prodigy in multiple ports so that multiple annotators can annotate different data. How can I achieve this?

Hi! In this case, you can use the PRODIGY_PORT environment variable to customise the port that's used, e.g.:

PRODIGY_PORT=1234 prodigy ...

Just make sure that you open up the respective ports on the machine so they're accessible.

@ines

PRODIGY_PORT=1234

I have found this error.

Are you in a Jupyter notebook? If so, you have to use their syntax for setting environment variables:

Thank you so much Ines, This is indeed the solution. I ran: %env PRODIGY_PORT = 3749 !python -m prodigy ner.manual ... This changed the port from localhost 8080 to localhost 3749

Or, if you're using some other terminal or setup, you can do a quick Google search for how to set environment variables on there.
