Hello,

I just see that if I create a new environment my hosts previously added doesn’t show up in this new env.  
I have two question about this :

- can I share a host between several env ? or each env need its own host ?
- can I move a host from one env to another ?

1. No you cannot share hosts across several environments. Each environment needs it own hosts.
2. Currently there is no way to move a host from one environment to another.

Ok thank you.

Sadly since I removed my two nodes from default env and trying to add it to the new env, rancher agent isn’t working anymore and failing with a weird error (docker logs) :

Any idea ?

Ok I found the source of the error. My box was upgraded to docker 17.06.0~ce-0~debian which is not supported.  
downgrading to 17.03.2~ce-0~debian-jessie seems working.
