Running a second home-assistant instance

Hey,

I was trying to set up a second home-assistant instance along my production one.
What I did, was to change the http.server_port to an unused port.
However, I cannot start the second instance due to a port already being used.

hadev                 | OSError: [Errno 98] Address in use

To me, it seems that the sonos integration tries to create a port bind itself, which might already be used by the main instance?

Or am I missing something else? Is this a bad idea at all?
I am just trying to create an instance to experiment with my new lovelace configuration.

Thanks in advance,
Cludch
