Hi. I need use wallet api and explorer. I try run cardano-explorer and cardano-node. I install a both by instruction connect-to-cluster.

As I understand cardano-node and cardano-explorer sync its own db.

./state-wallet-mainnet/db 8.1G
./state-explorer-mainnet/db 8.1G

When I start wallet and explorer with the same –db-path " ./state-wallet-mainnet/db", I have error for explorer:

cardano-explorer: UnsuccessfulOperation "c_rocksdb_open" "IO error: While lock file: state-wallet-mainnet/db/blocks/index/LOCK: Resource temporarily unavailable"

How can I use one –db-path for cardano-node and cardano-explorer?

Why I need That? For optimal using disk space if it possible

First, good thinking, but it’s not possible as each service as of now expects its own exclusive lock, I’m pretty sure that is why.
