One way to do this is to have multiple containers, one for `stable`, one for `main`.

Another option is [Using dv (Discourse Vibe) to configure Discourse AI in development](https://meta.discourse.org/t/using-dv-discourse-vibe-to-configure-discourse-ai-in-development/388622)

You don’t have to use any of the AI features of `dv`, if you don’t want to (though they can be handy, of course). But at core, `dv` lets you spin up multiple containers very quickly. So you could run two containers side-by-side (or more), one for each version/branch.
