I do use two containers. One with Ubuntu 16.04 and one with 18.04. I wanted the parts which go into `~/launchpad` (especially the .env) to be separated - which kinda worked.

Just to make sure... do you use the same `~/launchpad/launchpad` for all containers?

What steps do you perform when you switch a container? Except stopping/starting containers? 

At very least `.env` needs to be rebuilt? Anything else?

Would you mind listing the exact commands to switch from one container to the next?

Thanks!
