Catalogs will go into /var/lib/interchange and server config goes into 
/etc/interchange.

I should write some, but basically put you can put additional server 
configs under /etc/interchange/multi/instancename then you can 
start/stop them with systemctl start interchange at instancename, etc.

The static server files are in /usr/lib/interchange, you shouldn't need 
to change those as any files you change would go in /etc/interchange.

The previously mentioned environment variable MINIVEND_STORABLE_DB can 
be set in systemd by running `systemctl edit interchange` and putting 
the following in:

[Service]
Environment="MINIVEND_STORABLE_DB=1"

You can also set additional Environment lines if you want or other 
systemd settings such as Restart=on-failure

You need to do this separately for each instance.

One final note, it is not necessary to compile vlink separately for each 
IC instance, but you do need to set an environment variable in your 
apache (or nginx) config to point to the appropriate socket location for 
any instance other than the main one, an example apache vhost config 
snippet:

SetEnv MINIVEND_SOCKET /run/interchange-instancename/socket
ScriptAlias / /usr/lib/interchange/bin/vlink/
<Directory /usr/lib/interchange/bin>
         <Files vlink>
             Require all granted
         </Files>
</Directory>


Also you will probably get selinux denials until you set a module to 
allow the web server to access vlink, this can be done with audit2allow.
