Is it possible to run electrumX, electron cash, electrum SV, with BCH and BSV on the same OS as one running Bitcoin Core, electrum, and eps?

I know you can run "Electrum", "Electron Cash" and "Electrum SV" at the same time... they all use different data directories and wallets. In addition, you can run Bitcoin Core alongside all of these without issue.

The problem you'll have is trying to use "Electron Cash" and "Electrum SV" with your own local "EPS", as I believe that "EPS" is only designed to work with Bitcoin Core and BTC... it will not work properly with forks like BCH and BSV.

"ElectrumX" however does support forks... and quite a lot of them... so you could theoretically run ElectrumX against a BCH or BSV full node client and then connect to it with "Electron Cash" or "Electrum SV". You would need a separate instance of "ElectrumX" for each coin/fork that you wanted to access.

So, something like this:

ElectrumX #1 -> Bitcoin Core
ElectrumX #2 -> Bitcoin ABC (or whatever the bch full node is called these days)
ElectrumX #3 -> BitcoinSV Core

You could then use:

Electrum -> ElectrumX #1
ElectronCash -> ElectrumX #2
ElectrumSV -> ElectrumX #3

thanks. that's a helpful framework. but how would you run BCH/BSV full nodes in the presence of a BTC full node? their -datadir directories overlap, do they not? isn't there also intersection in commands, like ./bitcoind or ./bitcoin-qt, etc?
