Description

**Description:**

It would be nice if the installation documentation could outline how to run multiple instances of Synapse on the same server, be it using the official Debian/Ubuntu repo or multiple virtual Python environments.

_(In my case, I would like to run a private Synapse instance and a public Synapse instance, each with a different intended group of users.)_

Contributor guide

Research direction

Start by locating Synapse's installation documentation and reviewing the existing Debian/Ubuntu repository and virtual Python environment instructions. Document how to run separate Synapse instances for each installation approach, including the configuration needed for distinct private and public deployments; done when both approaches are covered clearly.
