How to run multiple IPFS hosts on the same machine?

Question

For testing, I want to be able to run multiple IPFS hosts on the same machine.

This is the scenario: I build small services on top of the IPFS core library, following the guide Creating Your Own IPFS Service . When I try to install the client and server on the same computer (note that each of them will create its own IPFS host), I will get the following:

panic: cannot acquire lock: Lock FcntlFlock of /Users/long/.ipfs/repo.lock failed: resource temporarily unavailable
