Create Dynamic Daemons

Some services need a variable number of daemons based on user configuration — one per tunnel, one per website, one per connected node. The daemon chain is built at runtime from a config list.

Solution

Read a variable-length list from a file model in setupMain(), then loop over entries to build the daemon chain with .addDaemon(). All dynamic daemons can share a single subcontainer image. The daemon ID must be unique per entry — derive it from the entry’s data. An alternative approach generates dynamic config files (e.g., nginx server blocks) from the list and runs a single daemon serving all entries.
