# Instances section. This section is optional, and it defines custom instances
# for modules of any kind. An instance entry has an module name, an instance
# name, and a configuration file name. The primary goal of this mechanism is
# to allow loading multiple instances of the same module, with different
# configuration. If you don't need this, the instances section can safely be
# left empty.
# for modules of any kind. An instance entry has these keys:
# - *module* name, which matches the module name from the module descriptor
# (usually the name of the directory under `src/modules/`, but third-
# party modules may diverge.
# - *id* (optional) an identifier to distinguish this instance from
# all the others. If none is given, the name of the module is used.
# Together, the module and id form an instance key (see below).
# - *config* (optional) a filename for the configuration. If none is
# given, *module*`.conf` is used (e.g. `welcome.conf` for the welcome
# module)
# - *weight* (optional) In the *exec* phase of the sequence, progress
# is reported as jobs are completed. The jobs from a single module
# together contribute the full weight of that module. The overall
# progress (0 .. 100%) is divided up according to the weight of each
# module. Give modules that take a lot of time to complete, a larger
# weight to keep the overall progress moving along steadily. This
# weight overrides a weight given in the module descriptor. If no weight
# is given, uses the value from the module descriptor, or 1 if there
# isn't one there either.
